libtorrent-rasterbar 0.15.7 crashes establishing connection to https tracker

[mew@…]

Newly installed Snow Leopard 10.6.6 Xcode 3.2.6

Deluge 1.3.3 works fine except when I add a torrent from a tracker with HTTPS support, then python crashes.

I installed Deluge using: sudo port install boost +python26 gtk2 +no_x11+quartz libnotify +no_x11+quartz deluge

Earlier versions of Deluge has worked great with HTTPS trackers before I did a clean install of Snow Leopard. What is missing?

[dbevans (David B. Evans)]

I just built a fresh copy of deluge with +no_x11 +quartz and see that the list of dependencies that require these flags are as follows:

  cairo @1.10.2_4+no_x11+quartz+universal (active)
  gtk2 @2.24.6_0+no_x11+quartz+universal (active)
  libnotify @0.5.2_1+quartz+universal (active)
  libsdl @1.2.14_9+no_x11 (active)
  pango @1.28.4_1+no_x11+quartz+universal (active)

so you might want to check libsdl.

Haven't found a https tracker off hand -- which one(s) are you using?

[mew@…]

I installed libsdl with +no_x11+quartz but the problem is still there. The other ones you list had the flags already as you say.

The htts trackers I use are closed now but I found one with open signup if you want to try for yourself: ​TB

I found it while googling for HTTPS trackers just now so I can't vouch for the content, but it has a ssl option all the way to the client.

[dbevans (David B. Evans)]

Thanks for your help. I was able to confirm the problem using this tracker. The problem is with libtorrent-rasterbar which crashes the deluged daemon when trying to establish a connection to a https tracker.

I found that significant changes have been made in libtorrent-rasterbar's svn trunk (pre 0.16.0) that are labeled as initial support for ssl trackers/torrents so perhaps it's not supposed to work in the current version.

Indeed, rebuilding libtorrent-rasterbar from svn trunk fixed the problem for me. I was able to download a 10 GB set of files with no problems using the https tracker that didn't work before.

Since it looks like this may not make it to a formal release soon (not included yet in the 0.15 branch yet), I have committed a new port, libtorrent-rasterbar-devel which builds the svn trunk version and have modified deluge to allow libtorrent-rasterbar-devel as a substitute dependency for libtorrent-rasterbar.

To use this port do the following

sudo port selfupdate
sudo port -f deactivate libtorrent-rasterbar
sudo port install libtorrent-rasterbar-devel

The two versions are ABI compatible with each other so it should not be necessary to rebuild deluge.

Committed libtorrent-rasterbar-devel in r84123 conflicting with libtorrent-rasterbar
Marked libtorrent-rasterbar as conflict with libtorrent-rasterbar-devel in r84124
Deluge modified to use either in r84125

If this fixes the problem for you as well, I'll close the ticket

You sir are awesome! :) It works great, thank you!

[dbevans (David B. Evans)]

Glad it works for you. Thanks for spotting this bug.
