can't add torrent

[jaunos]

Hi

I am trying to write an application in java with apache http client, which uses utorrent webui.

I have tired the GET and the POST method. It seems the get method wont work with that site because when I put the torrent url eg.:

http://site.com/torrents.php?action=download&id=1000382

to the s parameter the application doesnt add the torrent and chrome either.

The app gives back the {"build":26773}, which means there is no problem, but the torrent isnt added.

HttpGet get_torr =  new HttpGet("http://localhost:8080/gui/?token=" + this.mytoken + "&action=add-url" + "&s=" + torrenturl);

I don't know why but didn't work with get. I added the cookies properly etc.

Then I tried it with the POST method. My POST is :

// LOGIN 
        List <NameValuePair> formparams = new ArrayList <NameValuePair>();

        formparams.add(new BasicNameValuePair("user", "myusername"));
    formparams.add(new BasicNameValuePair("pass", "mypassword"));

        HttpPost post_nc = new HttpPost("http://site.com/login.php");

    post_nc.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(formparams, HTTP.UTF_8));

    HttpResponse resp_post_nc = client.execute(post_nc, localContext);

    resp_post_nc.getEntity().writeTo(System.out);
// LOGIN END


// DOWNLOAD AND SAVE A TORRENT        
        HttpPost gettorrent = new HttpPost("http://site.com/torrents.php?action=download&id=1000382");
        HttpResponse responsedtorrent = client.execute(gettorrent,localContext);

        ReadableByteChannel rbc = Channels.newChannel(responsedtorrent.getEntity().getContent());
        FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream("testtorrent.torrent");
        fos.getChannel().transferFrom(rbc, 0, 1 << 24);
// DOWNLOAD AND SAVE A TORRENT    END

// TRY TO ADD
    HttpPost post_torr =  new HttpPost("http://localhost:8080/gui/?token=" + this.mytoken + "&action=add-file");

    FileBody bin = new FileBody(new File("testtorrent.torrent"));
        StringBody comment = new StringBody("testtorrent.torrent");

        MultipartEntity reqEntity = new MultipartEntity();
        reqEntity.addPart("file", bin);
        reqEntity.addPart("torrent_file", comment);
        post_torr.setEntity(reqEntity);
        HttpResponse resp_post_torr = client.execute(post_torr, localContext);
// TRY TO ADD END

    System.out.println(resp_post_torr.toString());
    resp_post_torr.getEntity().writeTo(System.out);

I think the multipart POST is wrong, but I dont know where. I got this error message:

{"build":26773,"error": "Can't add torrent: torrent is not valid bencoding"}

I downloaded a BEncode Editor I opened the two files, what I downloaded and what the app and it is the same. When I add manually(double-click on it) the downloaded torrent file by app, it works and the download starting. So the downloaded torrent file isn't corrupt I think.

How can I add properly .torrent with the POST method?

Thanks,

jaunos

... Are you trying to add a .torrent file, or are you trying to add a URL? It's not clear what you're trying to do here, and you seem to be mixing the two requests.

I tried both but none of them worked yet with that particular site. The site needs user to be authenticated.

Now I am trying to figure out how to add a .torrent file with the multipart POST method.

The GET url adding method didnt work with the browser too, that's why I am trying the POST method, because I think it could be work just I am doing something wrong.

The app logs in to that site, then downloads the torrent, - I think this is working because when I click the downloaded torrent file the utorrent opens it and starts download - then it tries to send to webui - this gives me the beencode error.

Sorry for bad English.

figured out.

problem was here.

.....

**reqEntity.addPart("file", bin); // it is wrong

reqEntity.addPart("torrent_file", comment); // StringBody is not necessary

.....

**and it needs to be

reqEntity.addPart("torrent_file", bin);

silly me..
