FTS 1.1 getallheaders function in announce.php

anybody got a clue what this function does in announce.php

Code:

if (function_exists('getallheaders'))

    $headers = getallheaders();

else

    $headers = emu_getallheaders();

well can't call emu_getallheaders so can't update to tracker so I yanked the whole code out and now tracking and scraping both work

so I don't understand some things.

this code is obsolete because a missing function?

and what is scraping.

PS sorry for my bad english

scraping works while torrent is in stop, queue, pause ...whatever your client call it
basically the torrent will still pull some info about the torrent from tracker about seeders and leechers but updated as slower rate

what's the use of scrape? in a good bittorrent client there are rules you can write on if you should or shouldn't seed a torrent depending on torrent health

what side effects of losing scrape function?
on some tracker scripts you would also lose announce interval limit per client which limits on how often you can update the tracker with new set of info
