BTWebClient: Is HTTP Range header always sent?

[FractalizeR]

Hello.

Does uTorrent always send HTTP Range parameter when downloading from webseed?

[DreadWingKnight]

Yes because it's never requesting the whole file at once.

Strange. I have such headers ar webseed script sometimes:

array (

'User-Agent' => 'uTorrent/1770',

'X-Forwarded-For' => 'unknown',

'Host' => 'XXXXXXXXXXX',

'Cache-Control' => 'max-age=0',

'Connection' => 'keep-alive',

)

There is no Range header. How can this be possible?

User-agent is always BTWebClient when using a webseed. If something else, it's either a) not utorrent or someone incorrectly adding the webseed URL as a tracker

BTWebClient HTTP User Agent appeared only in 1.8. These headers are from 1.7.7 as you can see. But it doesn't matter, I have also such:

array (

'Host' => 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX',

'User-Agent' => 'BTWebClient/1800',

'X-Forwarded-For' => 'XX.XX.XX.XX',

'Cache-Control' => 'max-stale=0',

'Connection' => 'Keep-Alive',

'X-BlueCoat-Via' => '26DD94F575A43092',

)

Hi.

I have also uTorrent/1770 in apache access log, but it seems to work fine with web-seeding. I don't have information about sent headers, but it apparently requests 1MB pieces (same size as torrent pieces).

Can it be possible that you simply do not have complete headers information for some reason?

I'm not completely sure, but I think web-seeding for single-file torrents works since 1.6 or 1.7 . It has only been improved for multi-file torrents in v 1.8 . Check changelog to be sure.

Looking at the headers, I suspect a proxy that is stripping the range header.
