Handshake

[faisal]

I used Bearshare 4.0.2 to test my own simple servent handshaking, but I didn't get reply from Bearshare. I sent Gnutella handshake request v0.4, I stored "GNUTELLA CONNECT/0.4\n\n" in a String variable and sent it through socket with IP address=167.205.22.123(I've an Ethernet card and set the IP address to 167.205.22.123), port number=6346 (I've set Bearshare listening port number).In Bearshare console I found: Host in 167.205.22.123 ("Gnutella 0.4") dropped: Gnutella 0.4 handshake
What's the problem?

Thank you

Usually the handshake is now using the 0.6 handshaking protocol.

Bearshare blocks old clients (0.4). You should use the 0.6 handshake paradog mentioned.

If you must use the 0.4 handshake then you need to get a different client to test it with.

So Bearshare and another Gnutella servent (such as Phex) that use Gnutella 0.6 not supporting Gnutella 0.4 anymore??

Some clients still support 0.4 actually they MUST support prior versions.

But why dont you just use 0.6?

\n should be \r\n

MUST = SHOULD

No client MUST support anything.

Not that it matters but I thought in the 0.4 protocol the handshake ended with \n\n ?
Did anyone actually check the line ending anyway or just the GNUTELLA CONNECT/0.4

Yeah you are right. Suicide doesnt support 0.4 either but dont tell anyone

Hows Suicide .NET going BTW?

Phex still supports 0.4 and has not planed to remove the support.
Though you will find out that you wont have a very good experience using 0.4 connections in the current Gnutella network.

Gnucleus will still except clients that use the 0.4 handshake although I recommend you use the 0.6 handshake cause not all clients are as backward compatable.
