Publish Web Interface via Wide-Area Bonjour (in addition to Link-Local)

[gck]

Transmission should offer the ability (and/or default behavior) to register the web interface not only via link-local Bonjour, but also wide-area Bonjour, if applicable.

MobileMe? members already have a wide-area Bonjour domain for themselves, and places like DynDNS offer WAB services at quite affordable rates. Also, if the router supports NAT/PMP or UPnP, mDNSResponder will automatically map the port of the service, and Safari offers "Bonjour Bookmarks" to connect to a WAB http service from anywhere in the world. Thus, this would be a really cool feature to administer Transmission remotely.

The required change is quite trivial, although it might be advisable to add a toggle to the web interface preferences, such as "Publish on all Bonjour domains" in addition to the current "local network" option.

A patch against current SVN is attached, but it really just boils down to leaving off the "local." domain when setting up the NSNetService instance.

Thanks!

Patch to register Web Interface on all Bonjour domains, including any WAB.

This should satisfy #3214; would technically be a dupe but this includes a patch. It would be simple to add this as a configurable for the web UI, but I don't think the extra clutter would be worth it. If you're using wide-area Bonjour at all, it's either because you specifically set it up or you are using a service like MobileMe? where you see your own machines only. I would personally be in favor of just removing the local limit entirely.

Would you suggest changing the text of the option in preferences?

Remove local Bonjour limit, update localized pref windows, layout fixes for Netherlands

[dethbunny]

Of course. Updated my patch to update translations (which may be a bit rough in particular for Russian and Chinese) and fixed some layout issues for Netherlands translation in the process. If you'd rather have a simpler diff, I can work that out and split off the NL layout fixes into another patch.
