[p2p-hackers] Question about Kademlia Search

[marco at bice.it]

Hello.
A simple query on a DHT should have a "lookup(key)" function as its first
operation.
How can an application that uses Kademlia (e.g. Overnet or Emule), send this
query?

I mean, what you do is to search for a string, that is the partial name of an
object (a file).
How is this string transformed in a hash value to look up for on the Kad nodes?

Thank you and sorry for my bad english..

Marco
