According to the BitTorrent specification dictionaries need to be sorted:
"Dictionaries are encoded as a 'd' followed by a list of alternating keys and their corresponding values followed by an 'e'. For example, d3:cow3:moo4:spam4:eggse corresponds to {'cow': 'moo', 'spam': 'eggs'} and d4:spaml1:a1:bee corresponds to {'spam': ['a', 'b']}. Keys must be strings and appear in sorted order (sorted as raw strings, not alphanumerics)."
However, node-bencode simply converts object properties as found. Here is the test case:
var data = {
string: 'Hello World',
integer: 12345,
}
var result = bencode.encode( data )
produces:
d6:string11:Hello World7:integeri12345ee
should be:
d7:integeri12345e6:string11:Hello Worlde
