Re: [tor-dev] Upcoming Tor change with application impact: "Dormant Mode"

Hi Nick,

Is the guard connection closed when becoming dormant?

       If true, then any open client stream (even one not reading or
       writing) counts as client activity for the purpose of
       DormantClientTimeout. If false, then only network activity counts.
       (Default: 1)

When this option's set to 0 and Tor becomes dormant, will it close any idle client connections that are still open?

Will it close client connections on receiving SIGNAL DORMANT?

If Tor doesn't close client connections when becoming dormant, will it become active again (or send an event that the controller can use to trigger SIGNAL ACTIVE) if there's activity on an open client stream?

Cheers, Michael
