Decode exception when decoding string from http://bttracker.debian.org/

[dampcake]

I am trying to understand how this is formatted. Right now parsing it manually by hand to JSON:

{
  "interval": 900,
  "peers": "ip",
  "213.49.181.984": "port", // also this is not a valid IP address
  //This is where it fails. A number cannot be a key in a bencode dict
}

I have also tried running it through a some other bencode parsers and they all fail at the same spot. Are you actually able to get it decode with anything? As far as I can tell it is malformed. If you are able to get it to decode please let me know.

My guess is that the peers are supposed an array of dictionaries as that is what would make the most logic sense but that is not what the data specifies.

请考虑下中文编码的问题, 还有种子文件中的pieces字段的值

1. Consider Chinese encoding

2. torrent --> info --> pieces

[dampcake]

@blanexie Chinese characters should parse fine as long as you pass a Charset that can understand them. Do you have an example of valid bencode formatting with those characters in a string that is not parsing correctly?

thanks , It's normal to run.

1. useBytes : true
2. ByteBuffer to convert into String

kotlin code

val bencode = Bencode(charset("utf8"), true)


 UTF8.decode((infoMap["name"] as ByteBuffer)).toString()
