Can't access WebUI (invalid request)

[MageLuingil]

I've been running uTorrent v1.6.1 and the webUI interface version 0.315 for months, without a problem. This morning, I decided to try upgrading to the new version of webUI, 0.361 (the legacy version, of course). Installed it, tested it, it was working fine. Left it alone and went on to do other things.

Now, here's the odd part. This evening I went to check my torrents, and it wouldn't let me access the page. I got the message "invalid request" and couldn't do anything. I'm not missing the /gui/ (I'm browsing to http://localhost:2020/gui/ which was working this morning) and that is the correct port set in my properties.

When I try to connect to the page, I get these messages in my Logger tab:

[19:19:37] UPnP: Discovered new device: http://192.168.32.163:5431/uuid:0012-1739-9206020099dc/WANIPConnection:1

Any ideas? Thanks in advance for any help.

What IPs are you blocking (i.e. all not in the allow list)?

[MageLuingil]

None. The box had "NaN" in it, I tried just leaving it blank too, with no success.

[thelittlefire]

Well that's covered @ http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?pid=362425 I'm not sure if it's related to the legacy version.

However honestly noone here will spend time on anyone not using 1.8.1 sorry. Why haven't you updated?

[MageLuingil]

Yeah, I expected that answer. I didn't want to risk a hassle that updating might cause (you never know when a problem's gonna arise) but I guess not updating turned out to be a hassle too....

Thanks for the pointer, I'll be back if 1.8.1 doesn't work.

Yeah as you see there's some... problems with webui.cookie between versions. Good news/bad news as usual with all things which change I suppose. However being able to see the webui is a large culmination of effort. And hopefully it will get more attention now that the TRAC is public for people to put in bugs/requests. Then again, alot of the functionality is determined by the backend... exported variables and such. So it's a catch-22, for more functionality people need to request it, it needs to make sense/be approved, and then coded into the client, for it to show up in the webui

It's not a big change when you update, but 1.8 has changed the layout of some things. Press F1 after the update, to get the new manual and take a look around. Then you should be able to clear NaN in the Preferences for WebUI. That should allow you to access from localhost/LAN again. :/ Why it happened, only the coders know, heh

Upgrade to 1.8.1 if you want any support from us.

Well, I upgraded to 1.8.1, and it's been running for two days without any problems thus far. I'll assume it's fixed for now. Thanks again for your help!
