DC++

Sorry, this hub does not allow clients sending buggy $Supports command Problem

Asked by lokutus

hi,

i got a connection prob :

"Sorry, this hub does not allow clients sending buggy $Supports command."

the hub is a Ptokax in a LAN. the forum of the hub says, the client (dc++) is the problem.
now i, got to know how to fix it . i tried the settings, but nothing works.

someone an idea ?

de++ client 0.782 (actuall, i think)
winxp sp3
no other connection probs.
btw. sending buggy $suport commands can use as a DDos attack against the hub so i have to fix it.

regards,

lokutus

eMTee suggests the last section of this article as an answer to your question:
FAQ #83: “I've just upgraded to the newest version of DC++. Now I can't connect / search / download. What happened?”.

The main problem that this hubsoft is developed by retarded person who neither knows what definition of "bug" is.

ok, thx for the information. hm, what hub sofware can be recommended and works fast and secure with this client ?
(winxp 32bit plattform , only LAN connections)
Unfortunately I could not find reasonable software by google (for example).

Every maintained hub software should work with DC++ if its well configuread and that kind of retard settings like the one in your case are disabled.

Is all the negative energy necessary?
wouldn't it be even easier to just remove the blank?
Per your own documentation

http://neisep.com/dc/index.php?title=$Supports

• A blank $Supports is not permitted

"Mutor : Is all the negative energy necessary?"

erm, why negative energy ?
just asking a simple question. btw. i read some about the "blank" $Supports but i can´t find a thing about
deaktivating or change the blanks.

the hub log isn´t a good help (no specific "blank" field is named).
icould it be change per the "Expert" settings ?

a little bit more information could be helpful. sry, i didn´t worked with this software so much.

thanks,

regards

By negative I was referring to others calling people retarded.

At any rate the $Supports format is wrong in some way.
In PtokaX [you never mentioned which version or platform]
GUI -> Users/Chat, tick CMDs and then connect with the
'offending client'. Then you can see what the client sent.

Moreover this is an optional. Settings -> More General
So you may allow poorly formatted $Supports or not.

But the reason is not anything poorly formatted. DC++ sends $Support in the format "$Support f1 f2 f3 |". Notice the space character between f3 and |. It does not break anything, it is there for ages (probably since the time when $Support command was introduced) and it always worked with all hubsofts correcty. No problem... so why the option to block such clients was added? We all know the reason ;-)
