#7362: Don't kill the managed proxy if a transport failed to launch
---------------------------+------------------------------------------------
Reporter: asn | Owner:
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: normal | Milestone: Tor: very long term
Component: Tor | Version:
Keywords: tor-bridge pt | Parent:
Points: | Actualpoints:
---------------------------+------------------------------------------------
We currently do:
{{{
} else if (!strcmpstart(line, PROTO_SMETHOD_ERROR)) {
if (mp->conf_state != PT_PROTO_ACCEPTING_METHODS)
goto err;
parse_server_method_error(line);
goto err;
}}}
which means that we destroy managed proxies that were supposed to spawn
multiple transports but failed to launch one of them.
I think we should log a warning, but keep the managed proxy around. Some
transports are better than no transports; and the warning message should
hopefully prompt the user into fixing the issue.
