#17 .files [dot-files]

[Anonymous]

Do you know that a starting '.' [dot] is not allowed in a
torrent path?

Check the code of btformats.py from BitTornado:

[line btformats.py]
47 if not reg.match(p):
48 raise ValueError, 'path %s disallowed
for security reasons' % p

with reg = compile(r'^[^/\\.~][^/\\]*$') you get an
errror with '.' in front of path.
'.files' [dot-files] are supposed to be hidden on Unix.

Maybe MakeTorrent could check this too.
