Is proto required for alternate relay implementations?

Mike reports on tor-relays that authorities treat the "proto" line as mandatory for non-Tor implementations.

We should document that here:

https://gitweb.torproject.org/torspec.git/tree/dir-spec.txt#n773

changed milestone to %Tor: 0.3.3.x-final

added component::core tor/tor doc easy milestone::Tor: 0.3.3.x-final points::0.1 priority::medium resolution::implemented severity::normal status::closed tor-spec type::defect labels

What do we mean by mandatory? That is, what fails?

What do we mean by mandatory? That is, what fails?

According to Mike, the relay is not included in the consensus unless it has a "proto" line.

So, it's not actually mandatory: Tor versions before 0.2.9 didn't have it, and they are still listed in the consensus. Possibly, it is mandatory when the platform line is empty? We should investigate.

Ah, that appears to be what Mike said.

We don't have to do this in 0.3.2
