Allow torrents to be added through POST

[jvacek]

This feature was available using rutorrent, a specific private tracker, a user script and tampermonkey. It basically adds an extra link next to the torrent-download link that sends the torrent straight to rutorrent. The userscript itself is located here and actual useful code seems to start at line 196 https://pastebin.com/2TePhv2u. Runs very smoothly on pretty much all Gazelle-based private trackers. The generated link then looks something like the following:

https://example.com/rutorrent/php/addtorrent.php?url=https%3A//tracker.org/torrents.php%3Faction%3Ddownload%26id%idnumber%26authkey%3Daspecificstring%26torrent_pass%3D_anotherstring_

Would be sweet if a similar "API" could be developed in order to send torrents straight to flood using user-scripts.

Authentication required

[jvacek]

@dcousens indeed, rutorrent allows for this as you can auth using nginx/apache auth. Would it be possible to somehow use the cookie for this?

Is this what the FireFox addon Torrent to web uses? https://github.com/DASPRiD/Torrent-to-Web

How else is it able to send a torrent file directly to ruTorrent?

[jvacek]

@CluelessTechnologist yes https://github.com/DASPRiD/Torrent-to-Web/blob/master/src/background/adapter/rutorrent.js

I guess a possibility would also be an API. If you could auth on that level, make a JSON and send it over, done deal.
