Thanks; should have said `TorControlProtocol`

Instead of gratuitously breaking an API, this should probably just *add* `get_info_list()` or similar

`get_conf_one` landed on master, maybe `get_info_one` could too

FWIW, Stem treats everything as utf-8 and asks for "replace" from the decoder (but does provide an escape-hatch for just get_info): https://gitweb.torproject.org/stem.git/tree/stem/control.py#n1045

For more context, it's not even usual to have "full" descriptors (vs. microdescriptors) anyway. This is sounding _veeeeeery_ edge-case to me. Perhaps a survey of current descriptors to see if...

More context: the control-spec says a QuotedString or a CString can contain any 256-bit value but doesn't have an explicit encoding. So ... "presume UTF-8 and ignore/stomp and encoding errors...

Did you try something like: ``` endpoint = txtorcon.TorClientEndpoint(server_ip, server_port) tlsEndpoint = TLSWrapClientEndpoint(options, endpoint) ```

p.s. this would make a good addition to the `examples/` if you get it working :)

Hmmm! Very interesting ... from the error I assume this is an error while trying to connect to a unix-based control socket. By "networked storage" you mean NFS or ...?...

Obviously a delay isn't ever going to be the right thing (and, for Twisted code, `time.sleep(...)` is _definitely_ not the right way to delay). So, I think what's really going...
