Error: bad request

Post by Kittown »

Started getting this message when connecting to one of our local trackers. Tried to work with 0.9x as is but now will have to wait until they become more stable. The worst part is that app does not give any details on the error so I do not know where to start looking for the problem.

ok this seems to be tracker-related issue. However, Transmission does not seem to provide a simple way to see that was sent to server and received in response (nothing on console). Not good...

You can see the message/response between T and the Tracker in the debug window.

I need the actual text of request sent and response received, not just decoded response message. I have to use Wireshark or tcpdump to get them now. It would be nice to see this output in console window when the tracker is reachable but misbehaves or responds with an error.

BTW, it seems that the problem is with Content-length header which supposely should never be present in GET request. This confused tracker. Can't say whether tracker authors are right, I have not read RFC for a long time, but is this field actualy used for something in Transmission?

Hi,

Using 1.51 and occasionally getting bad request error, along with Tracker returned a 4xx message. Tracker site is up (an other torrent is seeded through the same site). I have not found any pattern yet. Some good seeded torrents become unseedable after a while with bad request.

Any idea?

Thanks.
