That's not for Cygwin on Windows, but for GNU/Linux. In dirmngr, the DNS resolver using Tor assumes that it returns ECONNREFUSED when Tor doesn't run at 9050, then, it tries to the port 9150. There was a bug of the DNS resolver. When there are multiple "nameserver" in /etc/resolv.conf, it should try all. It was fixed, but this fix had a side effect for ECONNREFUSED fallback mechanism for using Tor. This was fixed on Monday. For the particular issue for Cygwin, it seems that connect(2) in Cygwin environment may return EPERM instead of ECONNREFUSED. I suspect this. We can add the case of EPERM for Cygwin for workaround... -- _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
