Gnutella Web Cache
Gnutella requires Gnutella Web Caches (GWC) to get IPs to establish a connection to the network. These are critical to ensuring the health of the network. If you have a dedicated server and can spare some extra bandwidth then please consider running a GWC. People that don't have a dedicated server or are on normal broadband consumer lines should not run a cache from home.
A GWC is a simple script that can be put on any webserver that supports one of the following scripting languages:
- JSP (Java Servlet)
- Jums Web Cache (Excellent for heavy loads)
- C
- GhostWhiteCrab (For dedicated server environments and people who know how to compile C source code!)
- ASP
- Perl
- Jon Atkins' perlgcache
- The original GnuWebCache
PHP (Tip: PHP GWCs are usually the easiest to run and setup on a server.)
- The original GnuWebCache (PHP version is no longer supported)

- Get String Breakdown:
o Update a leaf
+ "?update=1&ip=(ip):(port)&x_leaves=(leaf count)
o Ping Variable
+ Appends &ping=1 to identify the cache name in debug messages (for gnutella and gnutella2 in 2.4.0.0, but only for gnutella2 now in 2.4.0.X for spec1 cache compatibility).
+ This feature new to Shareaza.
o Network Variable

Specification 2.1
* This is an extension of specification 2, not a separate specification!
* Pong extension
o Append the networks supported joined by a hyphen '-'.
o Used for client-side validation of networks supported and for network support reporting to other web caches.
o Format:
+ I|pong|cache name|network names joined by '-'
+ Format Examples:
# I|pong|fakecache 0.01|gnutella
* - Gnutella only
# I|pong|fakecache 0.01|gnutella2
* - Gnutella2 only
# I|pong|fakecache 0.01|gnutella-gnutella2
* - Gnutella and Gnutella2 served
* Host Output
o Just like specification 2, but with more fields supported for host output.
+ H|ip:port|age in cache|clustering|leaves|4 letter vendor code|reported uptime of host|max. leaves possible
# The host, age, and clustering fields are all still the same as in specification 2.
# The leaf count of the hub reported is in the 5th field.
# The vendor code with version number is in the 6th field.
* Request Control Variables:
o getleaves
+ Used to obtain leaf counts of hubs given
+ 4th field ultilized for current leaf count.
+ 7th field ultilized for maximum leaf slots possible.
+ Use this as 'getleaves=1' or 'getleaves' to enable.
o getclusters
+ Enables/Disables clustering.
+ Use this as 'getclusters=1'.
+ Using 'getclusters' or 'getclusters=0' disables cluster output.
o getvendors
+ Used to obtain the vendor code w/ version number of the hubs given.
+ Found in the 5th field.
+ Use this as 'getvendors=1' or 'getvendors' to enable.
o getuptime
+ Used to obtain the vendor code w/ version number of the hubs given.
+ Value is static, do not change the value given when time passes.
+ Found in the 6th field.
+ Use this as 'getuptime=1' or 'getuptime' to enable.
o spec
+ To force the specification parameter
+ Currently is only supported by Beacon Cache II
o pv
+ Similar to the 'spec' parameter, except that it does not force, instead it simply negotiates the specification.
* Special Data Requests
o info
+ Outputs extra details of your cache.
# Start with the informational response: I|
* Ex: I|open-source|1
o support
+ Outputs USEFUL details of your cache.
# Start with the informational response: I|
* Ex: I|support|gnutella2
o getnetworks
+ Outputs the enabled networks in two formats.
# Start with the informational response: I|
* For the 'I|nets|' line
o The third field contains the supported networks joined by '-'.
* For the 'I|networks|' line
o Interpret the fields from 3 and beyond as individual network names to challenge against.
# Examples
*
o I|net|gnutella-gnutella2
o I|networks|gnutella|gnutella2
* Update Extension Variables:
o x_leaves
+ Number of leaves running on a given hub or ultrapeer.
+ Value must not be greater than an integer value of 2047.
o x_max
+ Maximum number of leaves possible on a given hub or ultrapeer.
+ Value must not be greater than an integer value of 2047.
o uptime
+ Value submitted must be an integer value of the number of seconds of uptime.
+ Value must not be greater than an integer value of 1 year (31536000) and less than 1 hour (60).
Pinging Caches With Your Cache
* Please follow this standard:
o Client: TEST
o Version: Your Cache's Name
+ The old value for "version" was 1
* Some variables to attach to the ping (compatibility):
o multi
+ Used by some gwcs in their pings to other gwcs.
+ It tells the pinged cache to ignore the "net" parameter (so it should never say network not supported) and outputting the pong using this format, if possible, "I|pong|[cache name] [cache version]|[supported networks list]|[url adding is enabled]" - example: I|pong|Skulls 0.2.8a|gnutella-gnutella2|1
+ Used by Skulls GWC only.
o cache
+ This is added to every request made by some gwcs, it is for statistical purposes only.
+ It simply tells the remote cache that the client is a GWC.
* Help
o For PHP
+ Use the fsockopen() function to open a connection to a cache.
# Make sure you "write" to the fsockopen carry value to open the GWC's target file.
* http://us.php.net/manual/en/function.fsockopen.php
Variable Combination Standards
* Net variable decides specification!
o There are many ways to determine spec., but going with net is the safe way.
o Skulls GWC does not use the network parameter to determine specification level.
o Beacon Cache (I and II) uses the network parameter to determine the specification level.
* Your cache needs to be able to process certain combinations of variables.
o Update variable
+ Update should not fail if absent if spec. 2.
# A Specification 2 parameter.
* Spec 1 parameters used in Spec 2:
o Should still accept hostfile and urlfile responses for spec. 2.
+ Beacon Cache (I and II) accepts these parameters on spec 2.
* The 'spec' paameter can be used to force a specification:
o Only known to exist in Beacon Cache II, it can force the request to be handled as a specification 1 or 2 request.
o Spec 1 = 'spec=1'
o Spec 2 = 'spec=2'
o If 'spec' is not equal to any current spec, then default to the predetermined spec.
* Multiple variable requests
o If for instance a ping and request exist, you should always handle them properly.
+ Same goes with other combos like an update and ping, statfile + ping and info.
o Handle multiple variables as BEST as possible!
+ Some scanners and GWCs like to fit all their requests into one URL send.

Gnutella Web Cache
Gnutella requires Gnutella Web Caches (GWC) to get IPs to establish a connection to the network. These are critical to ensuring the health of the network. If you have a dedicated server and can spare some extra bandwidth then please consider running a GWC. People that don't have a dedicated server or are on normal broadband consumer lines should not run a cache from home.
A GWC is a simple script that can be put on any webserver that supports one of the following scripting languages:
- JSP (Java Servlet)
- C
- Perl
- Jon Atkins' perlgcache
- The original GnuWebCache
- PHP
- PHPGnuCacheII - MySQL
- Bazooka G2WC (recommended) - flat files
- Skulls! Multi-Network WebCache - flat files
