µTorrent 2.2.1 issues with .torrent files and magnet links #78

Open t-xdk opened 7 years ago

Client:

Client Version: 2.2.1 Operating System: win 10 pro Application Version: 2.1.10 Description: i would be nice if the exe could do file association with torrent files and not only magnet links so when one clicks on a torrent file it automatically sends the file torrent to the torrent program.

as it stands now it shows a message tor

It already does file associations. Did you double click the torrent file or drag-and-drop? This more likely seems like an issue with µTorrent 2.2.1 which has limited API support. I will take a look at the issue. Thank you for reporting.

tried opening from browser, double click, drag-and-drop and even tried file <--> add torrent.

it works in µRemote but it dodsn't do magnet links right

I have determined that the problem you are experiencing is a problem with the µTorrent 2.2.1 API alone. I have now studied the official WebUI API, and the Electorrent implementation without finding any differences in HTTP exchange (headers, body, verb all the same). Still µTorrent refuses to add .torrent files and magnet links. I am leaning towards the µTorrent API refusing to accept these calls except when they are originating from localhost. This is however inconsistent if µRemote is able to achieve this feature. Maybe this is up for more experimentation. As of right now this is on hold.
