Allow Custom URL Prefix for Web Client When Used Behind Proxy

Description

I tried putting a Transmission client behind an Apache proxy. In particular, I set it up so that if I visited https://example.com/t/, it would load up the Transmission Web client that was running on a different server.

The client loads ok - the html and static content all display, but it tries to make posts requests to https://example.com/transmission/rpc which is an invalid url with the proxy in place.

It would be most excellent if there was a way to specify a prefix-url for the web client so that it knows to prefix "/t" to the urls (or whatever prefix is set).

Unless I'm misunderstanding this ticket, it sounds a lot like #1538, which was added in 2.20.

I guess maybe? I was more hoping for a configuration setting rather than a source change that requires recompiling binaries.

comment:3 Changed 12 years ago by jordan

It is a configuration. #1538 added the "rpc-url" key to settings.json.

That helps then, yeah. I didn't see that called out explicitly in the ticket, nor is it documented on the wiki page (https://trac.transmissionbt.com/wiki/EditConfigFiles) nor was it in my default config file. I will update the wiki. Thanks!

I lied - I don't think I have permissions to update the wiki.
