Version: 1.0

System Requirements:

  • » uTorrent webUI

Description:

This application acts as a proxy to a utorrent webui. This proxy will intercept any calls before they get to the webui, and can convert a custom http security header passed by the j2me utorrent mobile client back into an http authentication header to be used by the webui server. This can fix issues arising from mobile networks stripping standard authentication headers from requests made by the uTorrent mobile client.

Installation and configuration
To install, download and run the setup.exe. If your uTorrent webUI is running on the same machine as the proxy and is listening on port 6881, then you don't need any configuration, simply access the webUI via port 6882 instead and the proxy will intercept all traffic.

If your WebUI is running on another machine/port then you will need to do the following:
1) Find uTorrentAuthProxy.exe.config in the auth proxy install directory and change the utorrentendpoint value to the ip/port which your webUI is running on.
2) Run the following command 'net stop UTorrentAuthProxyService'
3) Run the following command 'net start UTorrentAuthProxyService'

The webUI should now be accessible from the proxy host machine on port 6882.
