interesting
Harby my friend, this is rather interesting side effect of the FastTrack stack using HTTP protocol. FastTrack clients have a small limited HTTP server in them.
But you have yet to really communicate with the supernode client. What I mean by that is:
1) discover other peers;
2) discover all the peers and supernodes an active supernode knows about;
3) submit a search to find a file to a supernode;
4) download a file discovered in step 3.
You have discovered info about a node. I don’t disagree that it is interesting. However what you are going to need is info about the links that bind the nodes together in a network and how to traverse them. What makes FastTrack FastTrack is the linkages and their automatic development in real time not the nodes you are poking at. This is genius of the network stack.
What you seem to have discovered is huge security hole in the client itself where you can fool a client in the supernode mode to give you any file on a hard drive. This is amazing in itself because of its implications.
