Body [Length octets]
Upon encountering a recognized Type, implementations behave as described in
-section 3 below. If the type is not recognized, servers respond with a
-"STAT" message (code UNRECOGNIZED; see 3.1 below), and clients simply ignore
+section 3 below. If the type is not recognized, servers respond with an
+"ERROR" message (code UNRECOGNIZED; see 3.1 below), and clients simply ignore
the message.
2.1. Types and encodings
Status [1 octet]
(Sent connect=0,sent resolve=1,succeeded=2,failed=3,
- closed=4, new connection=5, new resolve request=6)
+ closed=4, new connection=5, new resolve request=6,
+ stream detached from circuit, retriable=7)
Stream ID [4 octets]
(Must be unique to Tor process/time)
Target (NUL-terminated address-port string]
If the circuit ID is 0, responsibility for attaching the given stream is
returned to Tor.
+ {Implementation note: By default, Tor automatically attaches streams to
+ circuits itself, unless the configuration variable "__ManageConnections" is
+ set to "0". Attempting to attach streams via TC when "__ManageConnections"
+ is true may cause a race between Tor and the controller, as both attempt to
+ attach streams to circuits.}
