DirectoryAuthority - Information about a tor directory authority. Query - Asynchronous request to download tor descriptors |- start - issues the query if it isn't already running +- run - blocks until the request is finished and provides the results DescriptorDownloader - Configurable class for issuing queries |- use_directory_mirrors - use directory mirrors to download future descriptors |- get_server_descriptors - provides present server descriptors |- get_extrainfo_descriptors - provides present extrainfo descriptors |- get_microdescriptors - provides present microdescriptors |- get_consensus - provides the present consensus or router status entries |- get_key_certificates - provides present authority key certificates +- query - request an arbitrary descriptor resource .. data:: MAX_FINGERPRINTS Maximum number of descriptors that can requested at a time by their fingerprints. .. data:: MAX_MICRODESCRIPTOR_HASHES Maximum number of microdescriptors that can requested at a time by their hashes.
