/**
 * \file directory.c
 * \brief Code to send and fetch information from directory authorities and
 * caches via HTTP.
 *
 * Directory caches and authorities use dirserv.c to generate the results of a
 * query and stream them to the connection; clients use routerparse.c to parse
 * them.
 *
 * Every directory request has a dir_connection_t on the client side and on
 * the server side.  In most cases, the dir_connection_t object is a linked
 * connection, tunneled through an edge_connection_t so that it can be a
 * stream on the Tor network.  The only non-tunneled connections are those
 * that are used to upload material (descriptors and votes) to authorities.
 * Among tunneled connections, some use one-hop circuits, and others use
 * multi-hop circuits for anonymity.
 *
 * Directory requests are launched by calling
 * directory_initiate_request(). This
 * launch the connection, will construct an HTTP request with
 * directory_send_command(), send the and wait for a response.  The client
 * later handles the response with connection_dir_client_reached_eof(),
 * which passes the information received to another part of Tor.
 *
 * On the server side, requests are read in directory_handle_command(),
 * which dispatches first on the request type (GET or POST), and then on
 * the URL requested. GET requests are processed with a table-based
 * dispatcher in url_table[].  The process of handling larger GET requests
 * is complicated because we need to avoid allocating a copy of all the
 * data to be sent to the client in one huge buffer.  Instead, we spool the
 * data into the buffer using logic in connection_dirserv_flushed_some() in
 * dirserv.c.  (TODO: If we extended buf.c to have a zero-copy
 * reference-based buffer type, we could remove most of that code, at the
 * cost of a bit more reference counting.)
