* status: accepted => needs_review Comment: Please have a look at my branch `bug25686_diagnostic_032`, with PR at https://github.com/torproject/tor/pull/142 . There are four possible reasons for a Tor reason to upload without X-Desc- Gen-Reason: 1. They are running an old version of our software, before 0.3.2.stable. 2. They are not running our software, but they are claiming they are. 3. They are uploading through a proxy that strips X-Desc-Gen-Reason. 4. They somehow had a bug in their software. I think that everybody who has this problem IRL is in condition 1, 2, or 3. This patch is an attempt to make it so 4 is very very obvious, so we can diagnose it easily. It's potentially backportable as far as 0.3.2. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/25686#comment:11> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online
