#290 Getting an error when using XML-RPC interface

[Nazar Mishturak]

I am currently working on a Qt aria2c gui using XML-RPC API. I use xmlrpc-c++ library to connect to a local aria2c instance. I want to download a torrent file and get "a torrent file does not contain a root dictionary" error from API. Here is my code:

QFile t_file(torrent_path);
t_file.open(QIODevice::ReadOnly);
QByteArray array = t_file.readAll();
array = array.toBase64();
std::vector<unsigned char=""> data;
data.resize(array.size());
qCopy(array.begin(), array.end(), data.begin());
xmlrpc_c::value result;
xmlrpc_c::paramList settings;
settings.add( xmlrpc_c::value_bytestring(data) );
mClient.call(listenAddress.toStdString(), "aria2.addTorrent", settings, &result);

Old aria2 has an issue to read base64 encoded torrent data which contains CR or LF, This issue was fixed in aria2 1.15.2. Which version are you using?

[Nazar Mishturak]

1.14.2. I will update to 1.15.2 now.

[Nazar Mishturak]

Updated to 1.15.2. It was crashing with Bencode decoding failed, but removing array = array.toBase64(); line solved it. Also, can you tell me how not to save sha-1 named .torrent files in aria2c working directory?

[tujikawa]

OK, so xmlrpc library seems to encode binary strings in base64 automatically.

There is no option to disable saving torrent file at the moment. I'll add it in the future release.

Added --rpc-save-upload-metadata option to enable/disable to save sha-1 named file.
