Thanks rl1987! Stem now uses 'GETINFO md/all' when it's available rather than reading descriptors from disk...

https://gitweb.torproject.org/stem.git/commit/?id=ac2b277

We already had a simple integ test for this...

https://gitweb.torproject.org/stem.git/tree/test/integ/control/controller.py#n1149

This only is invoked when running tests that require network connectivity (via 'run_tests.py --integ --target ONLINE'). Note that this will not be exercised with the present tor git codebase because it reports its version as '0.3.5.0-alpha-dev' rather than 0.3.5.1-alpha or above (as documented in the spec).

Made a little hack to exercise this new code with the integ test.

Replying to atagar:

Note that this will not be exercised with the present tor git codebase because it reports its version as '0.3.5.0-alpha-dev' rather than 0.3.5.1-alpha or above (as documented in the spec).

The spec guarantees that all Tor versions 0.3.5.1-alpha and later will implement this feature. We can't guarantee that all Tor versions 0.3.5.0-alpha-dev implement this feature, because it was merged partway through 0.3.5.0-alpha-dev.

Thanks teor. Yup, I know - just wanted to ensure rl1987 knew that stem won't be exercising this functionality until tor does a version bump since this ticket was specifically asking for a test.
