Sounds awesome! Yes, I'll merge a PR that adds Bugout to an existing torrent. The library should probably have been architected like a web torrent extension to begin, with so this change would bring that closer.
Cool idea. Let me know when you release Web Underground and I'll help spread the word.
@chr15m Thanks for the reply! PR will be inbound once I have tested everything. Also, thanks for the effort you put into Bugout, it is a cool application, I love the RPC interface WITH CALLBACKS! I have never seen RPC with callbacks before, that is slick.
It took me a while to get everything lined up, but I made a PR including my changes to Bugout. I am happy to make further modifications if there is anything you would like to see me do.
Fixed by #39.
Hi,
I am interested in adding Bugout RPC / gossip protocol capabilities to an existing application.
I am already using WebTorrent and seeding a torrent. Thus I would like to initialize Bugout with my torrent, adding the protocol extensions to the swarm.
I am correct that this would work? Can Bugout be used in conjunction with an existing seeding torrent?
I plan to make a PR that changes the Bugout ctor to accept a torrent instance, in a fashion similar to how it accepts an optional WebTorrent (client) instance.
FWIW, I am working on a solution much like Bugout with the following differences:
So the workflow is:
Users must also have the extension installed to visit the link.
I currently have a working prototype, the browser extension works in Firefox, Chrome and Opera (probably others too).
