Add-url problem

[mofle]

Why am I getting {"":""} when i use the ?action=add-url&s= ?

I 'm using µTorrent 1.7.7.

[Directrix]

What are you expecting?

[mofle]

Like, maybe a possibility of being able to add the torrent.

I get the {"":""} and no torrent is added.

And of course i'm using the whole url, just like this:

http://john:doe@192.168.0.104:9999/gui/?action=add-url&s=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mininova.org%2Fget%2F1187689

Any solution?

[jewelisheaven]

The question is... is adding from URL even an option currently?

[Ultima]

Yes, and last I checked, it still works.

@mofle: That it outputs an empty dictionary (well, it's no longer empty, since it returns the build number now) doesn't mean it's not working. I just tried the command, and it worked perfectly. A bit of patience would help.

[jewelisheaven]

COOL! Works for me http://localhost:12358/gui/?action=add-url&s=http://www.mininova.org/get/1297677

Edit: The GUI log message though is... odd

[18:50:41] HTTP: IP ::1: GET /gui/?action=add-url&s=http://www.mininova.org/get/1297677

the full address I used was admin:1@localhost:12358 so obviously something isn't interpreted right, right?

I guess it has to do with localhost DNS ... and the fact I don't have a real ipv6 address even through teredo, I dunno

Both my LAN IP and localhost show the correct IP

[21:13:47] HTTP: IP 127.0.0.1: GET /gui/?action=add-url&s=http://www.mininova.org/get/1297678

[21:13:45] HTTP: IP 192.168.0.101: GET /gui/?action=add-url&s=http://www.mininova.org/get/1297679

The URL should be URL Encoded when you pass it into µTorrent.

Not sure what's up with the ::1: stuff :|

[GTHK]

::1 is the loopback address for IPv6, yet the WebUI doesn't seem to work with IPv6 addresses itself. Doing :12358/gui]http://[::1]:12358/gui/ will yield the same ::1: in the log, but it fails to load.

[Firon]

Only 1.8 supports ipv6, and the webui itself may not yet.

[GTHK]

I already posted about the WebUI not working properly with IPv6 addresses :/.

[mofle]

Right... I still haven't gotten any wiser on {"":""} problem though...

Anyone have a solution for this?

(other than waiting for µTorrrent 1.8 and the new WebUI to be released)

[Lord Alderaan]

That request always returns {"":""}.

When you do a proper ?action=add-url&s= the torrent is added to µtorrent and otherwise it is not.

[Ultima]

@mofle: Why is {"":""} even a problem?

[mofle]

Because the torrent isn't added.

[Lord Alderaan]

Then it wasn't a proper add-url. Either it wasn't encoded properly or the torrent didn't exist.

As I said before. No matter if the torrent was added or not the page always returns {"":""}. There is no error reporting for ?action=add-url.

[kentyman]

Shouldn't there be some error reporting returned from add-url though?

@mofle, the link you pasted above looks fine to me. Have you checked the logging in uTorrent to see if the GET was received?

[Ultima]

No, because if the server is slow, and you have to wait for µTorrent to spit an error back (because it's waiting for the server to respond), the webui might think it's timed out instead. There's no reason to time the UI out just because of an external problem.

[jewelisheaven]

Is there a LIMIT for the add-url

I just noticed you can add a cookie also through the WebUI interface (futzing with the multilang) ... but the request is truncated. it works from the GUI.

GET /gui/?action=add-url&s=http%3A//www.demonoid.com/files/download/HTTP/1425221/1854827/:COOKIE:uid=185

whereas the cookie is 134 characters long.

If it's helpful, the urls returned in the logger tab are always 131 characters: the last 101 of which are the URL

[Lord Alderaan]

I think only the logger truncates the link.

[jewelisheaven]

Well the torrents don't load without the cookie and the torrent+cookie works fine from the UI :/
