opennap v0.44 (BETA) the open source (TM) napster server =================================== September 30, 2001 http://opennap.sourceforge.net IRC: #opennap on EFNet Email: opennap-dev@lists.sourceforge.net opennap is an Open Source(TM) server implementation of the popular Napster protocol. It is written in ANSI C and was designed to run on Unix platforms. So far this server has been tested on: * Linux (i386, alpha, sparc, ppc) * BSDI * FreeBSD * Solaris * IRIX * OS/2 * Windows 95/98/NT/2000 (MS VC++, CYGWIN) Minimal porting should be required for compilation on other Unix variants (if you do a port, please send patches to drscholl@users.sourceforge.net) Since Napster is not an open specification, much of the internals of the servers are specific to this implementation. In particular, I don't expect that this server will interoperate with the official Napster servers once they are linked together. Given that I can't run tcpdump between those servers, I can't see how they are communicating. I'm hoping that with the proliferation of servers outside of napster.com, they might be willing to open up their specification to make sure all the clients can interoperate. However, this server should be compliant with the several currently available Unix Napster clients. Main differences from the official napster servers: * servers can be linked together fully (chat and search) * channel operators can be defined to moderate specific channels * source code is freely available What's included? * opennap server * metaserver for directing clients to server groups * protocol specification * SOURCE CODE! There is also a mailing list opennap-admin@lists.sourceforge.net for people running live servers to share information not directly related to the development of the server. * For a description of the napster protocol, please see the file 'napster.txt' included with this distribution. * INSTALLATION To install, simply run the `setup' utility (provided with the binary distributions, or built from source). The installation process involves picking a directory where to install OpenNap and creating an initial account for administering the server. By default, OpenNap will look for its configuration files in: C:\opennap Win32 platforms (Win 95/98/NT/2000) -or- /usr/local/share/opennap Unix platforms If you wish to install OpenNap in another location, simply enter the new directory when `setup' prompts you. The next step is to create an initial user account for the owner of the server. `setup' will prompt you for the nickname to use, the password for the account and your email address (note that you ARE NOT required to enter a real email address if you don't want to--simply use the default email@here.com if you like) IF you installed OpenNap in a different directory than the default, `setup' will create a config file for you so that opennap knows that it is installed in the directory you chose. However, in order for opennap to find this config file, you will have to tell it where the config file is when you start the server. You do this by specifyin the -c command line option as such: opennap -c PATH where PATH is the _full_ path to the config file. (NOTE: for Win32 users, `setup' will create a `launch.bat' script in the directory you chose to install in which contains the above command so that you can simply run the batch file to start the server. Just make sure you copy the opennap.exe executable into that directory first). * Linking Servers 1. you need to add the dns name of the server you wish to allow to connect to your server in the database. This needs to be done on both ends, as it does mutual authentication to prevent bogus servers from being able to join. edit /usr/local/share/opennap/servers (c:\opennap\servers on Win32) add: <server name> <password> <local_password> where <server name> is the dns name of the server, and <password> is the password for that server to gain access. <local_password> is the password your server uses to authenticate itself to the other server (so the two password fields should be swapped on the other server). 2. connect to your server and gain elite access, and execute the `server connect' command (currently only BWap has support for the opennap commands), specifying the host and port to connect to. In BWap, you would do: /admin connect <server> In the windows client or other client which does not natively support the opennap extensions, you can do: /msg operserv connect <server> * Server to Server messages There are many cases where client commands need to be passed to peer servers in order to maintain database consistency across all servers. However, most of the commands that the clients use don't specify the user who performed the action. This implementation borrows from the IRC protcol and prefixes client commands with :user to indicate to peer servers which user issued the command. Commands which already specify the user name, such as the login request (2), are not prefixed. Each request handler should have a comment at the beginning specifying what input it expects. * Extensions to messages 200 search [CLIENT] TYPE <mime-type> OpenNap supports other media types besides mp3. By default, searches will only match mp3 files. A client can however search for other media types by specifying a partial MIME content-type (audio, video, text, application, image). (See message 10300 for adding media to the database). The special keyword `any' will match any media type in the database. The results of the search are returned as with mp3, except the fields for bitrate, sample frequency and length are meaningless (and are set to 0 in this implmentation). The client can then download as they would any other mp3 file. FILENAME EXCLUDES "..." allows filtering search results by excluded all files which match words in an exclude list. this must be used in conjunction with FILENAME CONTAINS "...". (NOTE: as of Napster 2.0 BETA 8, words in the FILENAME CONTAINS string which are prefixed with a minus sign (-) are considered to be exclusive. You are better off implementing it this way for compatibility.) [ SIZE | DURATION ] ["AT LEAST" | "EQUAL TO" | "AT BEST"] <integer> allows matching on the file size and song length in addition to the other file attributes 612 ban user/ip [CLIENT] Format: <user|ip> [ "reason" [timeout] ] opennap adds the optional `timeout' fields which specifies the time, in seconds, that the ban should be enforced. Note that if `timeout' is present, the `reason' field MUST be present, even if empty. * Non-standard messages The following messages are not present in the official napster servers, but are implemented as additional functionality in the opennap server. 10000 client quit [SERVER] <nick> the message is sent to peer servers when a client connection has closed 10010 server login [SERVER] <server-name> <nonce> <compression> <server-name> the dns name of the server wishing to connect <nonce> a random string to use for authentication <compression> the maximum zip (LZ77) compression level this message is sent when a connection wishes to identify itself as a peer server. when a server receives this message, it will send its own login command to the peer to initial mutual authentication 10011 server login ack [SERVER] <hash-response> to authenticate itself, the server will hash the value <peer-nonce><nonce><server-pass> using the MD5 algorithm. this allows the servers to mutually authenticate without the plaintext passwords traversing the network 10012 request server link list [CLIENT] Format: <empty> client requests the current server link info 10013 user ip [SERVER] (deprecated, this info is now appended to msg 2) <user> <ip> <port> <server> this message is used for a server to pass the ip address of a locally connected client to its peer servers, since that information is not available in the login message. <ip> is an unsigned long integer specifying the ip address for <user> 10014 registration info [SERVER] <user> <pass> <level> <email> <created> <last-seen> <pass> user's password <level> user's default level <email> user's email address <created> time at which the account was created <last-seen> last time the user logged into a server When a server detects that the user table is out of sync between servers, it will send its notion of what the entry should look like to all the other servers. If a receiving server has a matching user, it checks the <created> time to see which is the oldest entry and updates accordingly. 10018 encapsulated message [SERVER] :<sender> <recip> <message> This command allows a server to send a private message to a user on a remote server. <message> should be a well-formed Napster message, complete with tag and length header. 10019 server link info [SERVER] <server> <port> <server> <port> <hops> This message is used by servers to share information about the topology of the linked servers. when a server joins, a message is sent to all other nodes in the cluster. <hops> is incremented each time the message is relayed so that each server knows how far away the others are. 10020 server quit [SERVER] :<server> <server> "<reason>" This message is used to notify other servers in the group that a server has delinked. The server with the peer connection to the server that has quit should send this message. 10021 notify mods [SERVER] :<server> <loglevel> "<message>" allows a server to send a message to all logged in moderators. primarily used to propogate ban messages when not all servers see the connection or login. 10022 server to server pong [SERVER] Format: :<server> <recip> [args] This numeric is generated by a server in response to a 750 command from another server. The 750 was originally intended for a client to ping its local server, but doesn't contain enough information to use it as a pong response when crossing a server link. [args] is optionally copied from the [args] in the 750 message, typically used to keep client state. 10023 time check [SERVER] Format: <time> upon linking, servers should send their idea of the current local time to the peer server in order to them to make sure they are not too far out of sync. 10024 remote whois notification [SERVER] Format: :<sender> <target> This message is used to notify a remote client that a local client has performed a whois request. Mods+ are notified when a client does a whois request, and using a separate message allows the recipient client to turn off the notifications if requested. 10100 server connect [CLIENT] <server> [ <remote_server> ] Attempts to link the current server to <server>. If <remote_server> is given, then that server attempts to make the link instead of the local server. 10101 server disconnect [CLIENT] <server> <reason> [ "<remote-server>" ] delink current server from <server>. must be admin or high level to execute this command 10110 kill server [CLIENT] <server> "<reason>" cause the server to shutdown. must be elite level to execute this command. 10111 remove server [CLIENT] (DEPRECATED, not currently used) <server> "<reason>" reqeusts that <server> be removed from the table of allowed links. must be elite to execute this command 10112 show server links [CLIENT, SERVER] client: no data server: <host> <host> <hops> This command is used to show information about the links a server has to other servers. The list is terminated by a 10112 message with no data (0 length). 10115 show server stats [CLIENT, SERVER] client: no data server: <clients> <servers> <files> <gigs> <channels> <time> <uptime> <memory> <numusers> This command is used by administrators to get information about the state of the server. <clients> number of locally connected clients <servers> number of locally connected servers <users> total number of global users <files> number of files in the db <gigs> total size of all files shared <channels> number of active channels <time> time at which the server was started <uptime> number of seconds of uptime <memory> if debugging is enabled, this will show the memory currently in use, otherwise it will be -1 <numusers> number of registered users 10116 server ping [DEPRECATED] note: there is now a defined command for this in napster.txt 10117 rehash (reload) configuration files [CLIENT] Format: [server] Causes [server] to reread its configuration file and reload the motd into memory. If [server] is not specified, the server to which the client is connected is affected. 10118 display client information statistics [CLIENT, SERVER] If compiled with --enable-version-stats, the server will dump its lists of known clients and the number of logins for each. It does not keep track of unique ips, so this just gives a rough estimate on the popularity of various clients. Format (server): "<version>" <count> The server's list is terminated by a 10118 message with a 0 length. 10119 display which server a user is on [CLIENT] Format: <user> server will return an message detailing which server the particular user is on. only mods+ can execute this command. 10120 ping all peer servers [CLIENT] Format: (empty) Causes a server to sping all of its peer servers and report the results. 10121 who was [CLIENT] Format: <nick> Displays info about a user that has recently logged out. 10122 mass kill by ip [CLIENT] Format: <ip> ["reason"] Disconnect all connections originating from <ip> 10123 server command histogram [CLIENT, SERVER] Client: {empty} Server: <numeric> <count> <bytes> Displays a histogram of the number of commands and bytes received for each supported protocol numeric. 10124 end server histogram [SERVER] Format: <last_unknown> <unknown_count> <unknown_bytes> <total_count> <total_bytes> Terminates the list of 10123 messages. 10203 set user mode [CLIENT] [-]{ALL,MUZZLE,BAN,KILL,PORT,WALLOP} [ ... ] 10204 set channel op [CLIENT] Format: <channel> <user> [user ...] enable <user> to kick/ban users on <channel> 10205 remove channel op [CLIENT] Format: <channel> <user> [user ...] remove <user> as operator on <channel> 10206 channel op list [CLIENT] Format: <channel> returns the list of defined channel operators for the given channel 10207 drop channel [CLIENT] Format: <channel> [ "<reason>" ] marks the specified channel as being user created such that its state is not stored in the persistent channels file and will disappear once all users part from it. 10208 send message to channel ops [CLIENT] Format: <channel> <message> sends <message> to all operators and mods+ on <channel> 10209 change channel mode [CLIENT, SERVER] Format: <channel> [mode] if specified, [mode] is of the form (+|-)STRING where STRING is one of PRIVATE - makes the channel not show up in the list MODERATED - only ops and mods+ can speak in public INVITE - channel is invite only TOPIC - if set, any user may change the topic 10210 invite user to a channel [CLIENT, SERVER] Format: <channel> <user> when a channel is +INVITE, this sends an invitation to a user to join the specified channel. the user issuing the invite must be a member of the channel. 10211 give voice to speak in moderated channel [CLIENT] Format: <channel> [user [user ...]] 10212 remove voice to speak in moderated channel [CLIENT] Format: <channel> [user [user ...]] 10213 muzzle a user in a specific channel [CLIENT] Format: <channel> <user> ["reason"] 10214 unmuzzle a user in specific channel [CLIENT] Format: <channel> <user> ["reason"] 10300 share generic media file [CLIENT] Format: "<filename>" <size> <md5> <major-content-type> <content-type> is the major MIME type defined for what the data is. should be one of: audio, video, text, image, application, mp3 NOTE: mp3 is a separate type here since the original napster protocol was designed for sharing mp3 files. "audio" refers to other types of audio files Examples: "C:\IMAGES\Grand Canyon.jpg" 54187 bc938fdc0ef63772bfbdbf57aabb0860-54187 image "\home\drscholl\src\opennap-0.11.tar.gz" 102161 51c07734811a26853b1a2a87b67c68a1-102161 application 10301 new browse [CLIENT] (deprecated) Format: <nick> 10302 new browse result [CLIENT] (deprecated) Format: <nick> "<path>" <filename> <md5> <size> <bitrate> <frequency> <time> [ <filename> ... ] * References RFC1459, the IRC protocol was helpful in implementing many features. http://www.onelist.com/community/napdev/ is a useful community (mailing list) for discussion of the napster protocol.
