OnionRouter.toString() shows IPs with a slash prefix

[twilsonb]

Every IP displayed using OnionRouter.toString() shows IPs with a slash prefix.

I've tried searching OnionRouter, Consensus, and InetAddress, and I still have no idea why this is happening. But it appears to be cosmetic only.

The issue occurs for all OnionRouter IPs, whether the consensus is cached or not. It does not occur in the consensus document itself.

Consensus Spec

"r" SP nickname SP identity SP digest SP publication SP IP SP ORPort 1578 SP DirPort NL

This is a feature of Java, not a bug:

/**
 * Converts this IP address to a {@code String}. The
 * string returned is of the form: hostname / literal IP
 * address.
 *
 * If the host name is unresolved, no reverse name service lookup
 * is performed. The hostname part will be represented by an empty string.
 *
 * @return  a string representation of this IP address.
 */
public String toString() {
    String hostName = holder().getHostName();
    return ((hostName != null) ? hostName : "")
        + "/" + getHostAddress();
}
