detect_content_type() peeked at m_buffer[m_body] to infer JSON vs XML
when no CONTENT_TYPE header was provided. When the TCP header segment
arrives without any body bytes, m_body equals m_position and the peek
reads the null terminator padding byte — not the actual '{' or '[' —
causing JSON requests to be incorrectly classified as XML and fail.
Fix:
- Remove the body peek from detect_content_type(); defer it to after
the full body is confirmed present in event_read().
- Add a m_content_type_set flag to distinguish header-provided type
from auto-detected type.

BUILDING
Jump into the github cloned directory
cd rtorrent
Install build dependencies
Install libtorrent with the same version rTorrent.
Generate configure scripts:
autoreconf -ivf
Optionally, generate man pages:
docbook2man rtorrent.1.xml
Man pages output to "doc/rtorrent.1".
RTorrent follows the development of libtorrent closely, and thus the versions must be in sync.
USAGE
Refer to User Guide: https://github.com/rakshasa/rtorrent/wiki/User-Guide
LICENSE
GNU GPL, see COPYING. "libtorrent/src/utils/sha_fast.{cc,h}" is originally from the Mozilla NSS and is under a triple license; MPL, LGPL and GPL. An exception to non-NSS code has been added for linking to OpenSSL as requested by Debian, though the author considers that library to be part of the Operative System and thus linking is allowed according to the GPL.
Use whatever fits your purpose, the code required to compile with Mozilla's NSS implementation of SHA1 has been retained and can be compiled if the user wishes to avoid using OpenSSL.
