# tor-dirclient
`tor-dirclient`: Implements a minimal directory client for Tor.
## Overview
Tor makes its directory requests as HTTP/1.0 requests tunneled over
Tor circuits. For most objects, Tor uses a one-hop tunnel. Tor
also uses a few strange and ad-hoc HTTP headers to select
particular functionality, such as asking for diffs, compression,
or multiple documents.
This crate provides an API for downloading Tor directory resources
over a Tor circuit.
This crate is part of
[Arti](https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/core/arti/), a project to
implement [Tor](https://www.torproject.org/) in Rust.
