This document describes a protocol for interacting with Transmission
sessions remotely.
1.1 Terminology
The JSON terminology in RFC 4627 is used. "array" is equivalent
to a benc list; "object" is equivalent to a benc dictionary;
an object's "strings" are the dictionary's keys,

floating-point numbers are represented as strings.
booleans are represented as integers where 0 is false and 1 is true.
There are only two message types, request and response. Both have
the same format: an object with two members whose strings are
"headers" and "body", and whose values are both objects.
There are only two message types: request and response. Both
are json objects with two members: "headers" (described in 2.1)
and "body" (described in 2.2-2.3).
2.1. Headers
Message headers support two members:
(1) A required "type" string whose value must be "request" or "response".
(2) An optional "tag" integer that may be supplied by request.
Responses MUST return an identical tag member.
(2) An optional "tag" integer supplied by requests for their own use.
Responses MUST include the request tag's verbatim.
2.2. Request Body
Request bodies support two members:
(1) A required "name" string telling the name of the request.
(2) An optional "arguments" object of argument name/value pairs.
(2) An optional "arguments" object of name/value argument pairs.
2.3. Response Body
Response bodies support three members:
(1) A required "name" string which matches the request's name.
Response bodies support two members:
(1) An optional "arguments" object of argument name/value pairs.
(2) An optional "error" string which may be omitted on success.
(3) An optional "arguments" object of argument name/value pairs.
3. Torrent Requests
3.1. Common Arguments
Most torrent requests support an "ids" argument, which is a list
containing unique torrent information ids, or torrent sha1 hash strings,
or both. These are the torrents that the request will be applied to.
If the ids are omitted, the request is applied to all torrents.
containing unique torrent ids, or torrent sha1 hash strings, or both.
These are the torrents that the request will be applied to.
If "ids" is omitted, the request is applied to all torrents.
3.2. Torrent Action Requests
Request names: "torrent-start", "torrent-stop", "torrent-remove",
"torrent-verify".
Request names: "torrent-start", "torrent-stop",
"torrent-remove", "torrent-verify"
The only supported argument is 3.1's "ids" argument.
The response has no arguments.
3.3. Torrent Info Requests
Request name is "torrent-info".
Request name: "torrent-info".
The only supported argument is 3.1's "ids" argument.
The response's arguments object contains a member whose string
is "info" and whose value is an array of tr_info objects.
tr_info objects are (nearly) 1-to-1 mappings of libtransmission's
tr_info struct, where the members' string in the tr_info field name,
and the members' value is the field's value.
The response will contain an "info" argument holding an array of
tr_info objects. these are a (nearly) 1-to-1 mapping of
libtransmission's tr_info struct, but differ in the following ways:
The tr_info object differs from libtransmission's tr_info struct
in the following ways:
(1) tr_info's "hash" field is omitted.
(2) tr_info's "pieces" field is omitted.
(3) tr_file's "firstPiece", "lastPiece", and "offset" fields are omitted.
