Support optional ip parameter in announce query string

[coldwinds]

Hi,

Is the ip parameter could be supported as an option?

see here https://wiki.theory.org/BitTorrent_Tracker_Protocol

http://some.tracker.com:999/announce ?info_hash=12345678901234567890 &peer_id=ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRST &ip=255.255.255.255 &port=6881 &downloaded=1234 &left=98765 &event=stopped

Which will give a chance to reverse proxy to pass peer's ip by rewrite peer's query and add/overwrite an ip parameter to it.

Opentracker's Makefile also have a build option for this:

https://erdgeist.org/arts/software/opentracker/

By default opentracker will only allow the connecting endpoint's IP address to be announced. Bittorrent standard allows clients to provide an IP address in its query string. You can make opentracker use this IP address by enabling -DWANT_IP_FROM_QUERY_STRING.

It was previously posted in this issue #163 (comment) , and @josecelano have some good ideas on it.

This option would be very useful because it is currently not possible to seed from the same local network as the tracker and computer despite setting the external IP address in qbit.

Hi, @tramix32. We are close (approximately 1 month) to releasing a new major version (3.0.0). After that, I would like to focus on prioritizing issues in the roadmap (after getting feedback from the community). I think it would be good to implement many of these small features that are easy to implement but very useful.

For example:

• New option want_ip_from_query_string. See Support optional ip parameter in announce query string #532 (comment).
• Permanent keys. See Option to disable auth key expiration #244.
• Peer and torrents specific statistics. See Peer and torrent specific statistics #139.

This fits into that category.
