torrentinfo_endpoint.get_torrent_info bdecode RuntimeError

[absolutep]

Hi! I was using Tribler and THIS happened! 😢

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "D:\a\tribler\tribler\src\tribler\core\restapi\rest_manager.py", line 110, in error_middleware

Thanks for reporting! I can reproduce this. It seems that we don't handle bad URLs when retrieving torrent files.

Reproduction steps:

1. Click + Add torrent
2. Click Import torrent from magnet/URL
3. Enter https://github.com/Tribler/tribler/

[dev stuff]

The following line should have error handling, like the rest of the REST API method:

tribler/src/tribler/core/libtorrent/restapi/torrentinfo_endpoint.py
