Webseeds problems with redirects

[alex73]

Hi !

I have webseeds downloading problem when :

1. torrent contains directory, not a single file

2. webseed points to some server which redirects to other url.

uTorrent 3.1(build 26593)

So, torrent-file contains:

Ubuntu-11.04/

alt-mac64.iso

desk-mac64.iso

Webseed url is "http://alex73.byethost14.com/tr/test/".

Wireshark's dump:

request:

GET /tr/test/Ubuntu-11.04/desk-mac64.iso HTTP/1.1\r\n

Host: alex73.byethost14.com

response:

HTTP/1.1 302 Found\r\n

Location: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/11.04/release/ubuntu-11.04-desktop-amd64+mac.iso

But after that, next request is:

GET /releases/11.04/release/ubuntu-11.04-desktop-amd64%2bmac.iso/Ubuntu-11.04/desk-mac64.iso HTTP/1.1\r\n

Host: cdimage.ubuntu.com

So, as you can see, utorrent constructs invalid URL after redirect.

You can download torrent file from http://alex73.byethost14.com/tr/Ubuntu-11.04.torrent

Redirects are not well supported in webseeding. Do not use them.

Redirects are not well supported in webseeding. Do not use them.

So, what can I do for support webseeding better ? Does utorrent use third-party library for webseed requests ? Or utorrent's developers should fix it ?
