Examples

Using the xmlrpc2scgi.py script one can send SCGI commands directly to rTorrent.

~# ./xmlrpc2scgi.py -p 'scgi://localhost:33000' d.name s/1BEB405E5066392CDAE96EEF9F82F7D83C2343E9
Gotan Project - Lunatico (2006)

Without the '-p' flag it will output the SCGI reply without prettifying:

~# ./xmlrpc2scgi.py 'scgi://localhost:33000' d.name s/1BEB405E5066392CDAE96EEF9F82F7D83C2343E9
