Description
this would be helpful to subvert private trackers (BEP 27: Private Torrents)
(for ghostleeching)
usually peers who seed a specific torrent
also have other torrents which i may find interesting
such a query would allow to discover such similar torrents
this is similar to qBittorrent embedded tracker
but it runs on the same port as the bittorrent protocol
optionally, let the peer return only seeded torrents
default implementations would follow BEP 27:
dont return hashes of private torrents
but custom implementations could ignore BEP 27
related: BEP 51: DHT Infohash Indexing
possible implementation:
send handshake with empty btih 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000
(maybe also set some reserved bit in the handshake)
use this connection to request infohashes, similar to BEP 51
use BEP 9 to fetch metadata from the peer
alternative solution: run an http server with these paths
/cas.btih.hashes.txt
/cas.files.txt
/cas/btih/{btih}.torrent
/cas/btih/{btih}/Some.Dir/Some.File.txt

see also the cas parameter in #171
when port 80 cannot be used, use the next port after the bittorrent port
example:
6881 bittorrent
6882 http
