Transmission Web Interface and IPv6

[sander]

Hi,

The Transmission web interface works OK on IPv4, but not on IPv6. (Please correct me if I'm wrong).

Are there plans to make the web interface IPv6 enabled (just like transmission itself is now IPv6 enabled with 1.42+)?

[gerry]

I haven't had a chance to try 1.81 yet (the release notes look really great though).

Is the webinterface now available over ipv6 (only)?

[sander]

I tested Transmission 1.80 beta (on Ubuntu Lucid alpha2), and the webinterface is not active on IPv6 ::1.

Pity

I'd be happy for it to be IPv6. Currently Transmission uses libevent's evhttp code to act as the mini-web-server for handling RPC and Web Interface requests, and libevent's evhttp doesn't seem to support IPv6.

You may want to bump your suggestion upstream to libevent. Until they add IPv6 support there's not much I can do on my end.

It seems to be a work in progress.
In the mean time I did want to reach the same goal as u, and I found a Apache2 <> Transmission Web UI Proxy topic on this forum, which worked out great for me.

It uses Apache2 as a proxy to connect to Transmission at localhost.

I also use this method to secure my connection to the Web UI.
