$GetMeta TTH;1$[filename]

Post by linobarreca » 2004-01-03 22:53

Sometimes I obtain this:
Unknown UserConnection command: $GetMeta TTH;1$[filename]
in the debug output window when running DC++ within VS

What does $GetMeta should do and why is this command unimplemented in DC++?
Any ideas?

Thanks, Lino

$GetMeta is a feature of BCDC++. The fact that a BCDC client is sending it to you (as a user who doesn't $Support[s] that feature) is a bug. It's fixed in the latest source code.

As I can imagine getmeta gets some extended infos on the file.

Why don't implement it in DC++?
It could be useful something like "$getmeta MD5 [filename]" to verify that the file was downloaded correctly.

Well, TTH stands for Tiger Tree Hashes, which are much, much, much better than MD5.

When hashing is finished, there'll be a push to get it into standard DC++, as it benefits everyone.
