uTorrent to TorrentFlux Bridge

uTorrent is to Windows users as TorrentFlux is to Linux users. They both have a convenient web interface equipped with transfer controls. TorrentFlux is a bit more extensive, but uTorrent has always had a big advantage in my opinion: Remotes. There's a huge list of community projects built from the collective WebUI API.

Every time I'd see a fancy remote application for my phone like Torrent FU or for my work computer like uRemote I'd spend hours thinking of ways to copy them for TorrentFlux. Finally I realized a more effecient solution: A bridge to translate uTorrent request URIs into TorrentFlux URIs and vice-versa.

ut-tf-bridge receives commands from the uTorrent remote, performs the requested actions on a TorrentFlux server, and returns the transfer data to the uTorrent remote. A more detailed breakdown of the process follows:

1. uTorrent Remote → http://torrentflux-server/gui/?list=1 → ut-tf-bridge
   
2. ut-tf-bridge → http://torrentflux-server/stats.php?f=xml&t=transfers → TorrentFlux Server
   
3. TorrentFlux Server → XML → ut-tf-bridge
   
4. ut-tf-bridge → JSON → uTorrent Remote
   

In order to perform actions such as Start Transfer or Stop Transfer authentication is required. Username and Password values may are passed as a basic HTTP authentication header. Currently the bridge can perform these actions:

• Start
  
• Stop
  
• Pause
  
• Unpause
  
• Force Start
  
• Recheck
  
• Remove
  
• Remove With Data
  
• Set Priority (untested)
  
• Add File by URL
  

Maybe, with some help, a universal bridge library could come from this?
