Hi, i'm facing a strange problem trying to implement a tracker service
using java servlet technology (with Tomcat 6.0.13). When a typical
announce request arrives in the server, the info_hash parameter that i
get is:
info_hash=j%ad%5c%1d%01i%25%c4%5e%ee%06%de%a9%95%3b%f5H%d6%91b
In fact it should be :
%6a%ad%5c%1d%01%69%25%c4%5e%ee%06%de%a9%95%3b%f5%48%d6%91%62
but apparently some of the hex are arriving incorrectly, like 'j'
instead of '%6a'. When i send a similar request via browser like
http://localhost?info_hash=%6a%ad%5c%1d%01%69%25%c4%5e%ee%06%de%a9%95%3b%f5%48%d6%91%62
it works properly. I tested using uTorrent and Azureus and the problem
was the same. Any ideas about it? thanks a lot.
