Ok, as promissed, im reporting on what i have done.

Here is the code for the prototype i have been working on, to test the concept and check some of the changes needed to implement it.

The code isnt meant to be added, just for checking and commenting; it was done against the code on SourceForge cvs (public, of course).

Following are some notes of implementation, covering what i have found out, done and thought about.

Ok.

1. Download the binary package.
   
2. Access the webserver through the browser as usual, authenticating, and click on Transfer.
   
3. Look at the url on the location box. If you acess it on a local copy, with the standard port, it should be something like "http://localhost:4711/?ses=[a number]&w=transfer"
   
4. There, "localhost:4711" is the webserver url i talked about before, and the number [a number] is the valid session id, that needs to be passed to every request.
   
5. To make xml requests, edit the url on the location box to the one given, substituting [webserver url] with the url of your webserver, and [valid session id] with the number found above. The urls are case sensitive, so beware.
   
6. There are three accepted xml requests with the latest executable:
   • a stats request, using the url:
     
     
     CODE

     
     http://[webserver url]/?ses=[valid user session]&channel=xml&request=getStats
     

   • a upload queue request, using the url:
     
     
     CODE

     
     http://[webserver url]/?ses=[valid user session]&channel=xml&request=getUpQueue
     

     
     
     
   • a upload list request, using the url:
     
     
     CODE

     
     http://[webserver url]/?ses=[valid user session]&channel=xml&request=getUpList
     

7. Its possible to check request times and sizes on the debug log, it uses the same notation of other requests, but marking them as a XML request.
   
8. All sizes are unzipped, it isnt sent compressed yet.
   
9. Im looking for problems with the construction of the xml; both IE and Firefox will complain if a problem got through
   
10. one possible problem may be with names as it uses Latin-1 encoding as of yet, and there isnt a function to escape foreign characters.
    
11. Using the template, the webserver client does a stats request every minute, to update the stats bar

[*] Download the binary package.

You're using an old template.. There are some incorrections on the Login-Page..

CODE

http://[webserver url]/?ses=[valid user session]&channel=xml&request=getStats

[*] a upload queue request, using the url:

CODE

http://[webserver url]/?ses=[valid user session]&channel=xml&request=getUpQueue

[*] a upload list request, using the url:

CODE

http://[webserver url]/?ses=[valid user session]&channel=xml&request=getUpList

When trying these three URLs all I get in MSIE is the display of a XML file.. Can't use that for much...
