I am trying to get the peer list from the trackers using https://wiki.theory.org/BitTorrent_Tracker_Protocol
But most of the torrent files available on the net use a udp
tracker. The above website is for HTTP trackers. The torrent files with HTTP based trackers give an error.(Passkey error , or hash error or user error or 404 not found response
)
Right now my request code for all HTTP trackers look like :
payload = urllib.urlencode(payload)
for ann in self.torrent.announce_list:
if("udp" not in ann[0]):
url = ann[0]
print "Encoded Request URL :",(url + "?" + payload)
print "Requesting Tracker for Peer List"
try:
response = urllib.urlopen(url + "?" + payload).read()
print "RESPONSE :",response
except Exception, e:
print e
I have crosschecked my request URL against the requests being made by uTorrent using wireshark. They all match. The info-hash is being generated correctly.
How do I retrieve the peer list from UDP as well as HTTP trackers ? I am trying not to use any external library like lib-torrent. Some guidance would be really helpful.
The following code worked for me. Calling announce_udp() with the tracker URL and the payload dictionary with all the URL parameeters.
import binascii, urllib, socket, random, struct
from bcode import bdecode
from urlparse import urlparse, urlunsplit
def announce_udp(tracker,payload):
tracker = tracker.lower()
parsed = urlparse(tracker)
# Teporarly Change udp:// to http:// to get hostname and portnumbe
url = parsed.geturl()[3:]
url = "http" + url
hostname = urlparse(url).hostname
port = urlparse(url).port
sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM)
sock.settimeout(8)
conn = (socket.gethostbyname(hostname), port)
#sock.bind((socket.gethostname(),s_port))
#Get connection ID
req, transaction_id = udp_create_connection_request()
sock.sendto(req, conn);
buf = sock.recvfrom(2048)[0]
connection_id = udp_parse_connection_response(buf, transaction_id)
#Annoucing
s_port = sock.getsockname()[1] #get port number to which socket is connected
req, transaction_id = udp_create_announce_request(connection_id, payload,s_port)
sock.sendto(req, conn)
print "Announce Request Sent"
buf = sock.recvfrom(2048)[0]
print "Response received"
return udp_parse_announce_response(buf, transaction_id)
def udp_create_announce_request(connection_id, payload, s_port):
