1. Introduction
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This document describes a protocol for interacting with Transmission
|
|
|
|
sessions remotely.
|

1.1 Terminology
|
|
|
|
|
2008-10-16 17:56:17 +00:00
|
|
|
The JSON terminology in RFC 4627 is used.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In benc terms, a JSON "array" is equivalent to a benc list,
|
|
|
|
a JSON "object" is equivalent to a benc dictionary,
|
|
|
|
and a JSON object's "keys" are the dictionary's string keys.

2. Message Format
|
|
|
|
|
2008-06-17 04:47:20 +00:00
|
|
|
Messages are formatted as objects. There are two types:
|
2008-05-12 23:51:17 +00:00
|
|
|
requests (described in 2.1) and responses (described in 2.2).
|
2008-05-10 14:29:59 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2008-08-20 01:55:28 +00:00
|
|
|
All text MUST be UTF-8 encoded.
|
|
|
|
|
2008-05-12 23:51:17 +00:00
|
|
|
2.1. Requests
|
2008-05-10 14:29:59 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2008-06-18 22:01:15 +00:00
|
|
|
Requests support three keys:
|
2008-05-10 14:29:59 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2008-05-12 23:51:17 +00:00
|
|
|
(1) A required "method" string telling the name of the method to invoke
|
2008-05-22 16:59:51 +00:00
|
|
|
(2) An optional "arguments" object of key/value pairs
|
2008-06-17 16:25:13 +00:00
|
|
|
(3) An optional "tag" number used by clients to track responses.
|
2008-05-12 23:51:17 +00:00
|
|
|
If provided by a request, the response MUST include the same tag.
|
2008-05-10 14:29:59 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2008-05-12 23:51:17 +00:00
|
|
|
2.2. Responses
|
2008-05-10 14:29:59 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2008-05-12 23:51:17 +00:00
|
|
|
Reponses support three keys:
|
2008-05-10 14:29:59 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2008-08-13 16:57:12 +00:00
|
|
|
(1) A required "result" string whose value MUST be "success" on success,
|
2008-05-12 23:51:17 +00:00
|
|
|
or an error string on failure.
|
2008-05-22 16:59:51 +00:00
|
|
|
(2) An optional "arguments" object of key/value pairs
|
2008-06-17 16:25:13 +00:00
|
|
|
(3) An optional "tag" number as described in 2.1.
|
2008-05-10 14:29:59 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2008-05-22 19:24:11 +00:00
|
|
|
2.3. Transport Mechanism
|
2008-05-15 05:11:50 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2008-06-17 16:25:13 +00:00
|
|
|
HTTP POSTing a JSON-encoded request is the preferred way of communicating
|
2009-02-10 18:19:09 +00:00
|
|
|
with a Transmission RPC server. The current Transmission implementation
|
|
|
|
has the default URL as http://host:9091/transmission/rpc. Clients
|
|
|
|
may use this as a default, but should allow the URL to be reconfigured,
|
|
|
|
since the port and path may be changed to allow mapping and/or multiple
|
|
|
|
daemons to run on a single server.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In addition to POSTing, there's also a simple notation for sending
|
|
|
|
requests in the query portion of a URL. This is not as robust, but can
|
|
|
|
be useful for debugging and simple tasks. The notation works as follows:
|
2008-05-15 05:11:50 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2008-06-17 04:47:20 +00:00
|
|
|
(1) Any key not "tag" or "method" is treated as an argument.
|
2008-05-15 05:11:50 +00:00
|
|
|
(2) The "arguments" key isn't needed, since data isn't nested.
|
2008-06-17 04:47:20 +00:00
|
|
|
(3) If the value in a key/value pair can be parsed as a number, then it is.
|
|
|
|
Otherwise if it can be parsed as an array of numbers, then it is.
|
|
|
|
Otherwise, it's parsed as a string.

Just as an empty "ids" value is shorthand for "all ids", using an empty array
|
|
|
|
for "files-wanted", "files-unwanted", "priority-high", "priority-low", or
|
|
|
|
"priority-normal" is shorthand for saying "all files".
