Using

Autoloader

BitTorrent Tracker Announcer does not come with its own autoloader, so you will need to use a PSR-0 compatible autoloader for everything to work as expected, or provide your own require[_once] statements. An example of such an autoloader can be found here.

Send request to Tracker

<?php
$req = TorrentRequest::createOnTorrent(\PHP\BitTorrent\Torrent::createFromTorrentFile('yout torrent file.torrent'));
$req->setTorrentClient(new \BitTorrent\Announcer\Client\uTorrentClient());
echo $req->announce()->render(); // output: d8:completei211e10:inc[...]
print_r($req->announce()->getPeers()); // output: peerlist array with host/id

Proxy Request

Mainly for developing you can overwrite the announce url on your favorite bittorent client to pipe to a custom server which than will do the request as a proxy. just use the announce as a base64 encoded parameter

<?php
#index.php?announce=aHR0cDovL3RvcnJlbnQudWJ1bnR1LmNvbTo2OTY5L2Fubm91bmNl
$req = TorrentRequest::createFromRequestArray(PlainTorrentClient::createFromGlobals());
echo $req->announce()->render(); // output: d8:completei211e10:inc[...]
