RSS AutoDownloader Problems

Asked by Veldkornet

When adding an RSS autodownload filter, the files are not downloading. Now I assume that this is because it requires your username and password which you got from your FireFox cookie, as was so in uTorrent (see below)

Normal feed:
http://tracker/rss.php?feedtype=download&timezone=2&showrows=10&categories=all

Feed with credentials:
http://tracker/rss.php?feedtype=download&timezone=2&showrows=10&categories=all:COOKIE:c_secure_uid=your_unique_value;c_secure_pass=your_unique_value;c_secure_login=your_unique_value

Firefox users will find their cookies in Tools -> Options -> Privacy -> Cookies -> Show Cookies

But now, when I added this RSS with my password etc in it, it doesn't even pick up any files....
As I said, this works in uTorrent, so is there something that I just need to change somewhere or where am I going wrong?

It is likely to be a bug in qBittorrent. It would really help if I had a working URL to try to reproduce myself. My e-mail is: chris <at> qbittorrent.org

Unfortunately, the site I'm using is a local wireless community network, so I can't give you a URL to play with unless you were physically connected to the network. All I can tell you is that it definitely works in uTorrent?

As you may know uTorrent is not Free Software so it does not really help me to know it works :p (I have no way to know "how it works). I will have a look at my Qt classes when I have some time to see if the doc says anything about cookies.

Okay cool thanks :)

Btw, I know this won't help with your development, but this is all I have on uTorrent RSS:

Ok. I know roughly how to proceed now but I would really need such an rss feed to test my code while I implement this feature.

Could you provide me with such a rss torrent site with open registration so that I can create an account and test?
My email is chris <at> qbittorrent.org

Ok. I found a Website that uses such authentication.
I'm starting development to get this working. I won't implement this as in uTorrent (passing parameters in the URL) though because I don't think it is user friendly. Instead, I will make work on an easier cookie management interface.

I would still like an URL to help testing.

I have implemented this in SVN/trunk but it requires testing.

To define cookies, right click on a RSS feed and click "Manage cookies". Don't pass the credentials in the feed URL.

Is anybody able to compile SVN/trunk and test it? I cannot test it since the RSS feed I found is not for torrents.

The site http://bt.mdan.org/ uses this type of rss and is open registration, but is in portuguese.

@Jefferson: Thanks. I managed to register and I'm now debugging (My current implementation does not seem to work).

As far as I can see, there are three cookies right? (c_secure_login, c_secure_pass and c_secure_uid)

Ok. I fixed my code and I confirm that it is working now when I define those three cookies. Thanks a lot!
