according to the specification: http://wiki.theory.org/BitTorrentSpecification
info_hash: urlencoded 20-byte SHA1 hash of the value of the info key from the Metainfo file. Note that the value will be a bencoded dictionary, given the definition of the info key above.
torrentMap
is my dictionary, I get the info
key which is another dictionary, I calculate the hash and I URLencode
it.
But I always get an invalid info_hash
message when I try to send it to the tracker.
This is my code:
public String GetInfo_hash() {
String info_hash = "";
ByteArrayOutputStream bos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
ObjectOutput out = null;
try {
out = new ObjectOutputStream(bos);
out.writeObject(torrentMap.get("info"));
byte[] bytes = bos.toByteArray(); //Map => byte[]
MessageDigest md = MessageDigest.getInstance("SHA1");
info_hash = urlencode(md.digest(bytes)); //Hashing and URLEncoding
out.close();
bos.close();
} catch (Exception ex) { }
return info_hash;
}
private String urlencode(byte[] bs) {
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer(bs.length * 3);
for (int i = 0; i < bs.length; i++) {
int c = bs[i] & 0xFF;
sb.append('%');
if (c < 16) {
sb.append('0');
}
sb.append(Integer.toHexString(c));
}
return sb.toString();
}
