SYNOPSIS

my $obj =  new Net::RTorrent:: 'http://10.100.0.1:8080/scgitest';
my $dloads = $obj->get_downloads;
my $keys = $dloads->list_ids;
$obj->load_raw( $torrent_raw );

ABSTRACT

Perl interface to rtorrent via XML-RPC

DESCRIPTION

Net::RTorrent - short way to create tools for rtorrent.

METHODS

new URL

Creates a new client object that will route its requests to the URL provided.

get_downloads [ <view name > || 'default']

Return collection of downloads

To get list of view:

  xmlrpc http://10.100.0.1:8080/scgitest view_list

'main'
'default'
'name'
'started'
'stopped'
'complete'
'incomplete'
'hashing'
'seeding'
'scheduler'

load_raw [\$raw_data || new IO::File ], [1||0]

load torrent from file descriptor or scalar ref.

1 - start download now (default)
0 - not start download

system_stat

Return system stat.

For example:

print Dumper $obj->system_stat;

Return: { 'library_version' => '0.11.9', 'max_memory_usage' => '-858993460', # at my amd64 ?? 'upload_rate' => '0', 'name' => 'gate.home.zg:1378', 'memory_usage' => '115867648', 'download_rate' => '0', 'hostname' => 'gate.home.zg', 'pid' => '1378', 'client_version' => '0.7.9', 'safe_free_diskspace' => '652738560' };

remove_untied (TODO)

remove_untied

do_sys_mutlicall 'method1' =>[ <param1>, .. ], ...

Do XML::RPC system.multicall. Return ref to ARRAY of results

For sample.

print Dumper $obj->do_sys_mutlicall('system.pid'=>[], 'system.hostname'=>[]);

Will return:

[
       [
         '1378'
       ],
       [
         'gate.home.zg'
      ]
];

Setting up rtorrent

If you are compiling from rtorrent's source code, this is done during the configuration step by adding the flag --with-xmlrpc-c to the configure step. Example ./configure --with-xmlrpc-c. See http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/wiki/RTorrentXMLRPCGuide

Setup your rtorrent and Web server. My tips:

.rtorrent

scgi_port = 10.100.0.1:5000

apache.conf

LoadModule scgi_module        libexec/apache2/mod_scgi.so
<IfModule  mod_scgi.c>
  SCGIMount /scgitest 10.100.0.1:5000
  <Location "/scgitest">
     SCGIHandler On
  </Location>
</IfModule>

My url for XML::RPC is http://10.100.0.1:8080/scgitest.

Use xmlrpc ( http://xmlrpc-c.sourceforge.net/ ) for tests:

xmlrpc http://10.100.0.1:8080/scgitest system.listMethods
