WebTorrent not support for Buffer on browser

[jimliang]

• WebTorrent version: 0.85.1
• Node.js version: v4.2.2
• Browser name/version (if using WebTorrent in the browser): Chrome/49.0.2623.87

using webpack as a bundler.
Because it do not support require('webtorrent') with webpack(see #347 ),i use require('webtorrent/webtorrent.min') in the browser.
But it return undefined when webtorrent.get(new Buffer(...)).
It seen that webtorrent.min cannot parse a Buffer Object.

The problem is that create-torrent currently expects buffers and streams to have a name. While its not common you can just attach the name property to the buffer object. Perhaps in an upcoming version this will be obsolete.

Aside of using the static webtorrent.min built you can checkout the configurations which have to be set to enable the webtorrent package to work in webpack.

@Autarc The create-torrent issue seems unrelated. @jimliang is discussing the client.get function, which is used to look up an existing torrent.

@jimliang Please share a complete code example. It sounds like you're using the wrong function. client.add allows you to download a new torrent, not client.get.

html:

<script src="webtorrent.min.js"></script>
<script src="bundle.js"></script>

bundle.js is created by webpack.Source:

const client = new WebTorrent();
client.add(new Buffer(...),(torrent)=>{});

Throwing Invalid torrent identifier(…) on the browser.

Now I use browserify instead of webpack.This issue can close. :3

@Autarc I would like to see those configurations but the link is dead
