+# How to connect to JSON-RPC with curl
+
+Before continuing make sure `deluge-web` or Web UI plugin is running.
+
+## Create a curl configuration file
+
+To save a lot of typing and to keep the curl command short we shall create
+a `curl.cfg` files and put the following contents in it:
+
+ request = "POST"
+ compressed
+ cookie = "cookie_deluge.txt"
+ cookie-jar = "cookie_deluge.txt"
+ header = "Content-Type: application/json"
+ header = "Accept: application/json"
+ url = "http://localhost:8112/json"
+ write-out = "\n"
+
+To pretty-print the JSON result see: <https://stackoverflow.com/q/352098/175584>
+
+## Log in to Web UI
+
+Log in to the Web UI and get session cookie:
+
+ curl -d '{"method": "auth.login", "params": ["deluge"], "id": 1}' -K curl.cfg
+
+Result is `true` to signify that login was successful:
+
+ {
+ "error": null,
+ "id": 1,
+ "result": true
+ }
+
+Check the contents of the cookie file to verify session ID created.
+
+ cat cookie_deluge.txt
+ # Netscape HTTP Cookie File
+ # http://curl.haxx.se/docs/http-cookies.html
+ # This file was generated by libcurl! Edit at your own risk.
+
+ localhost FALSE /json FALSE 1540061203 _session_id <session_id>
+
+## Check connected to deluged
+
+Use the `web.connected` method to get a boolean response if the Web UI is
+connected to a deluged host:
+
+ curl -d '{"method": "web.connected", "params": [], "id": 1}' -K curl.cfg
+
+Result is `false` because Web UI is not yet connected to the daemon:
+
+ {
+ "error": null,
+ "id": 1,
+ "result": false
+ }
+
+## Get list of deluged hosts
+
+Use the `web.get_hosts` method:
+
+ curl -d '{"method": "web.get_hosts", "params": [], "id": 1}' -K curl.cfg
+
+The result contains the `<hostID>` for using in request `params` field.
+
+ {
+ "error": null,
+ "id": 1,
+ "result": [
+ [
+ "<hostID>",
+ "127.0.0.1",
+ 58846,
+ "localclient"
+ ]
+ ]
+ }
+
+## Get the deluged host status
+
+ curl -d '{"method": "web.get_host_status", \
+ "params": ["<hostID>"], "id": 1}' -K curl.cfg
+
+The result shows the version and status; _online_, _offline_ or _connected_.
+
+ {
+ "error": null,
+ "id": 1,
+ "result": [
+ "<hostID>",
+ "Online",
+ "2.0.0"
+ ]
+ }
+
+## Connect to deluged host
+
+To connect to deluged with `<hostID>`:
+
+ curl -d '{"method": "web.connect", \
+ "params": ["<hostID>"], "id": 1}' -K curl.cfg
+
+The result contains the full list of available host methods:
+
+ {
+ "error": null,
+ "id": 1,
+ "result": [
+ "core.add_torrent_url",
+ ...
+ "core.upload_plugin"
+ ]
+ }
+
+## Disconnect from host
+
+ curl -d '{"method": "web.disconnect", "params": [], "id": 1}' -K curl.cfg
+
+A successful result:
+
+ {
+ "error": null,
+ "id": 1,
+ "result": "Connection was closed cleanly."
+ }
+
+## Add a torrent
+
+ curl -d '{"method": "web.add_torrents", "params": \
+ [[{"path":"/tmp/ubuntu-12.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso.torrent", \
+ "options":null}]], "id": 1}' -K curl.cfg
+
+## Add a magnet URI
+
+ curl-d '{"method": "core.add_torrent_magnet", \
+ "params": ["<magnet_uri>", {}], "id": 1}' -K curl.cfg
+
+## Get list of files for a torrent
+
+ curl -d '{"method": "web.get_torrent_files", \
+ "params": ["<torrentid>"], "id": 1}' -K curl.cfg
+
+## Set a core config option
+
+ curl -d '{"method": "core.set_config", \
+ "params":[{"max_upload_slots_global":"200"}], "id": 1}' -K curl.cfg
+
+ {"error": null, "result": null, "id": 1}
+
+## Useful curl configuration options
+
+For full list of options see man page `man curl` or help `curl --help`:
+
+ --cookie (-b) # Load cookie file with session id
+ --cookie-jar (-c) # Save cookie file with session id
+ --compressed # responses are gzipped
+ --include (-i) # Include the HTTP header in output (optional)
+ --header (-H) # HTTP header
+ --request (-X) # custom request method
+ --data (-d) # data to send in POST request '{"method": "", "params": [], "id": ""}'
+ --insecure (-k) # use with self-signed certs https

+# How to update a Deluge 1.3 plugin for 2.0
+
+With the new code in Deluge 2.0 there are changes that require authors of
+existing plugins to update their plugins to work on Deluge 2.0.
+
+The main changes are with Python 3 support and the new GTK3 user interface with
+the dropping of GTK2. However it is still possible for a 1.3 plugin to be made
+compatible with 2.0 and this guide aims to helps with that process.
+
+## Python
+
+### Python version matching
+
+Ensure your code is Python >=3.6 compatible.
+
+In `1.3-stable` the plugins that were built with a specific version of Python
+would only be loaded if the system Python also matched.
+
+This has change in Deluge 2.0 and it will load any Python version of plugin
+eggs so compatibility is essential for end-users not to encounter issues.
+
+## GTK 3 addition
+
+In order to support both Deluge 1.3 and 2.0 all existing plugin GTK UI files
+must be copied and then converted to contain only GTK3 code with the old files
+still using PyGTK e.g.:
+
+ cp gtkui.py gtk3ui.py
+
+### Convert from libglade to GtkBuilder
+
+With PyGTK there were two library options for creating the user interface from
+XML files by default Deluge plugins used libglade but that has been deprecated
+and removed in GTK3. So the libglade `.glade` files will need converted to
+GtkBuilder `.ui` files and the Python code updated.
+
+See the official [Migrating to GtkBuilder][migrate-gtkbuilder] document for more details.
+
+#### GtkBuilder conversion script
+
+Install the `gtk-builder-convert` converter on Ubuntu with:
+
+ sudo apt install libgtk2.0-dev
+
+To convert your GTK run it like so:
+
+ gtk-builder-convert data/config.glade data/config.ui
+
+#### Glade UI designer for GTK2
+
+The above conversion can also be done in Glade UI designer (version <=3.8).
+
+In the preferences select `GtkBuilder` as the project file format. Ensure
+that the minimum Gtk version is set to 2.24 and fix any deprecated widgets.
+
+The updated file should be saved with file extension `.ui`.
+
+#### Python code changes
+
+The code needs to replace `gtk.glade` references with `gtk.Builder` and the
+first step is updating how the files are loaded:
+
+```diff
+- glade = gtk.glade.XML(get_resource("config.glade"))
++ builder = Gtk.Builder.new_from_file(get_resource("config.ui"))
+```
+
+Replace signals method:
+
+```diff
+- glade.signal_autoconnect(self)
++ builder.connect_signals(self)
+```
+
+Replace `get_widget` with `get_object`:
+
+```diff
+- glade.get_widget
++ builder.get_object
+```
+
+Check for any remaining `glade` methods and replace with the `builder` equivalents.
+
+### Migrate XML files to GTK3
+
+If you open and save the file it will update with the new requirement header:
+
+ <!-- Generated with glade 3.18.3 -->
+ <interface>
+ <requires lib="gtk+" version="3.10"/>
+
+You can fix deprecated widgets but keep the minimum GTK version to <= 3.10 for
+desktop compatibility.
+
+An example of migrating a Deluge plugin to GtkBuilder: [AutoAdd GtkBuilder]
+
+### Gtk import rename
+
+Move from PyGTK to GTK3 using Python bindings.
+
+<https://pygobject.readthedocs.io/en/latest/guide/porting.html>
+
+ wget https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/pygobject/raw/master/tools/pygi-convert.sh
+ cp gtkui.py gtk3ui.py
+ sh pygi-convert.sh gtk3ui.py
+
+```diff
+-import gtk
++from gi.repository import Gtk
+```
+
+```diff
+- self.builder = gtk.Builder()
++ self.builder = Gtk.Builder()
+```
+
+### Deluge GTK3
+
+#### Imports
+
+Imports will need renamed from `deluge.ui.gtkui` to `deluge.ui.gtk3`.
+
+There is also a new PluginBase for Gtk3 UI:
+
+```diff
+-from deluge.plugins.pluginbase import GtkPluginBase
++from deluge.plugins.pluginbase import Gtk3PluginBase
+-class GtkUI(GtkPluginBase):
++class Gtk3UI(Gtk3PluginBase):
+```
+
+#### Entry points
+
+To enable the GTK3 UI to find the plugin the entry points requires updating too.
+
+In the plugin `__init__.py` file add a new `Gtk3UIPlugin` class:
+
+```
+class Gtk3UIPlugin(PluginInitBase):
+ def __init__(self, plugin_name):
+ from .gtk3ui import Gtk3UI as _plugin_cls
+ self._plugin_cls = _plugin_cls
+ super(Gtk3UIPlugin, self).__init__(plugin_name)
+```
+
+A new entry for GTK3 UI can then be added to `setup.py`:
+
+```diff
+ [deluge.plugin.gtkui]
+ %s = %s:GtkUIPlugin
++ [deluge.plugin.gtk3ui]
++ %s = deluge_%s:Gtk3UIPlugin
+ [deluge.plugin.webui]
+ %s = %s:WebUIPlugin
+- """ % ((__plugin_name__, __plugin_name__.lower())*3)
++ """ % ((__plugin_name__, __plugin_name__.lower())*4)
+```
