Comment (by atagar): Gotcha, thanks David. I'll leave this in your capable hands but for what it's worth the reason I bring this up is largely about cacheability. When 'GETINFO exit-policy/full' returns something I can safely cache it until... a. A SETCONF changes our ExitPolicy. b. Our externally facing address changes. Tor provides events for those so once I get my hands on a policy I can skip future GETINFO calls (Nyx does a lot of this to lessen its load on tor). In the case of error responses I'm curious about cacheability too. In particular if it's transient (ie. I should retry) or not. Both the error cases above are less 'error' than 'no exit policy until X' so I can cache that. So if we can differentiate them from other (possibly transient) errors that would be helpful. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/25852#comment:8> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online
