Reading Nicotine+ and slskd against what was just written turned up three
places where this client had the message right and the behaviour wrong.
Excluded search phrases (code 160) are not a filter on the searches we
send — the server already drops those. Nicotine+ applies them to the files
it offers, leaving out any whose path carries an excluded phrase, and a
reply with nothing left is not sent. Ours now does the same, and the
local refusal of outgoing searches is gone.
Serving children now follows the same rules as Nicotine+: the limit comes
from the server's ParentMinSpeed and ParentSpeedRatio against the upload
speed the server records for us (capped at ten, none at all below the
minimum), children are refused until something feeds us the search stream
and let go when it stops, a second link from a child we already carry is
refused, and AcceptChildren is re-sent whenever that answer changes. Where
the server has never reported our speed there is nothing to apply the
formula to, so the configured cap stands, which is how slskd runs.
Queued downloads now ask where they sit every five minutes, as Nicotine+
does, instead of only when a caller asks; a brokered file connection we
cannot complete reports CantConnectToPeer like a control connection does;
and a peer's shares can be asked for one folder at a time (peer code 36
and its reply, 37), which is what "download folder" is built on.
Private rooms were unreachable: the client could ask to join one but had
no way to invite, promote, resign or be told what happened, and a room
name already owned by someone else came back as silence rather than a
refusal (code 1003).
Adds the rosters the server pushes after login (133/148), the changes it
narrates to them (134/135, 143/144), our own standing (139/140, 145/146),
and the messages that drive them, with the rosters kept current in client
state. The daemon protocol and the TUI room transcript carry the new
events rather than dropping them.
Three features the client half-had. SetStatus (28) was only ever sent as
"online" at login, so there was no way to go away; excluded search phrases
(160) were parsed and logged into nowhere, so every client kept spending
searches on queries the server was never going to answer; and a queued
download could answer a peer asking about its place but could never ask
about its own.
Each is now driven end to end: the away status seen by another user, a
refused query on a stub server that announces phrases (soulfind keeps its
filters in a database the suite cannot seed), and a peer's answer landing
on the download as its queue position.
Adds the server messages the client had no way to speak: user and room
search (42/120), room tickers (113-116), the global room feed (150-152),
interests and the recommendation queries built on them (51/52/54/56/57/
110/111/112/117/118), a keepalive ping (32), gifted privileges (123), a
password change (142) and multi-user private messages (149).
CantConnectToPeer (1001) closes a real gap in both directions: a dial the
server asked us to make now answers the waiting peer instead of falling
back to brokering the same unreachable link the other way, and an incoming
one ends the wait on downloads queued for that peer rather than letting
them sit until a timeout.
