Gather transit connection information programmatically

[felinira]

At the moment it seems like it is not possible to programmatically gather information about the used connection method and IP address / relay hostname during a transfer, at least not when using transfer::send_file and similar.

Would it be possible to make request::accept and transfer::send_file return some sort of informational struct once the transfer has started?

Yes, that's a good idea. But first, I think more information needs to be exposed by the transit API. At the moment we simply collect the information whether the connection is direct or a relay, and optionally a name for the relay. Would that be sufficient for your use case or do you need some more information?

While more information is always nice, this would already help. IP addresses would be nice to have, too, but not particularly important.

Thanks! That was fast :)
