Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/asapach/peerflix-server/issues/46

i'm trying to post a magent link via the rest api but all i get is this message:

TypeError: path must be a string
    at Object.fs.open (fs.js:427:11)
    at Object.fs.readFile (fs.js:206:6)
    at readTorrent (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/peerflix-server/node_modules/read-torrent/index.js:54:8)

    at Object.router (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/peerflix-server/node_modules/express/lib/router/index.js:33:10)

I tried it like this:

curl --data '{"link":"magnet:?xt=urn:btih:EE0B41983C0A71E19B0CF06854CD5C7732D8D3BE&dn=jurassic+world+2015+hdts+v2+x264+ac3+cpg&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Fopen.demonii.com%3A1337%2Fannounce"}' http://localhost:9000/torrents

any idea what i'm doing wrong?
