Support WebTorrent trackers #2120

Open styromaniac opened 5 years ago

They start with wss:// or ws://

They support TCP, which to my knowledge Tor requires.

Are you sure that it is no longer in development? Latest commit was 2 days ago.

Main "problem" is that WebTorrent is meant for websites (front-end) so it's written in JavaScript, and have no Python library. But it is very similar to BitTorrent. The only difference is that WebTorrent uses WebRTC and WebSockets.

Python can also support WebRTC so it should not be hard to also support WebTorrent.

WebTorrent uses the same protocol as BitTorrent but uses a different transport. WebTorrent primarily relies on WebRTC connections, while BitTorrent uses TCP connections and UDP datagrams directly.

I didn't know it resumed development. Good to know.
