Portability issue in PowerPc

[jsnavar1]

Hello,

I'm using the client on a PowerPc platform (Big Endian), but it doesn't start a session with the server (it disconnects immediately).
After inspecting the code, the problem appears to be that fragments of the responses are casted directly as integers (using the style : *(int *) (buffer + offset)), and also that integer arrays and variables are used as buffers (for example packet_buffer).

I tried to change these parts of the code, but I couldn't because they are almost everywhere: I only managed to send the first message (the nonce) of the protocol, but after the second the DC disconnects with a 4 bytes long response.

I also have this problem on armv5te architecture. It works perfect on armv7 (tested on a OpenPandora console and on a XE303C12 ARM Chromebook), but fails with "Server error -404" on my armv5te based GuruPlug Server. This is the program output:

This error keeps repeating until you press Ctrl+C.

It would be great to increase portability...

Probably no chances of making this code work on big-endian platform. There are too many places, that assume, that this is little-endian platform. Sorry. But if anybody wants too do it, I will merge changes.
