I am attaching draft patch. However, i need to discuss some points regarding patch. 1. Initially, i thought of making symlink path in the same format as the path is stored in the torrent file but it looks like symlink should be more easily stored as string rather than path format. Is this makes some sense or should i store that in path format? (I had some problem symlink_path as path format for paths like ../../abc) 2. If string is okay, then should i change the signature of all the function to match std::string rather than boost::filesystem::path (currently). 3. I have used "symlink path" for the storage key in the torrent file whenever i have symlink_attribute set. 4. This patch stores the symlink_path upto MAX_SYMLINK_PATH (in create_torrent.cpp) and doesnot trunkate the symlinks and stores empty string in the torrent file, however, i am not able to throw an warning while creating torrent. Any idea how to do that? Any suggestions regarding patch or some more questions? -- Regards, Atul Aggarwal
