NAME

web-gui.pl - Very Basic WebGUI Leveraging the µTorrent WebUI Project

Description

This began as a short alternative event processing example.

Like nearly everything else related to µTorrent, the backend of the WebUI is undocumented and closed sourced, so there's a great chance that I'll never complete this. You're welcome to hack away at it though.

Installation

• Download the latest (...so far, there's only been one release, but you never know) webui.zip file through the uTorrent forums: http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=14565

  Alternativly, you could try one of the (nifty) unofficial UI (iPhone, mobile, even a Facebook plugin) while you review the "Overview of everything WebUI-related" thread: http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=33186

• Save the .zip file in the current working directory. Do not extract the zip.

• Start the script.

• Load http://localhost/gui/ in your browser. The login user:pass (static for now) are username:password. Hey, I did say it was just an example.

• ???

• Profit.

Dependancies

For something so simple, this thing uses a boat load of non-core modules:

HTTP::Daemon

HTTP::Status

JSON

Archive::Zip

Net::BitTorrent (of course!)

TODO

• Everything.

  Seriously. I haven't written anything beyond initial ui load and (partial) torrent and file lists. The structure is here if anyone else would like to do it. Hint, hint.

Description

This is a very basic demonstration of a full Net::BitTorrent-based client.
