| 34 | | This is mainly useful for servers where you already have a web server running. You can configure the existing web server to act as a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proxy_server proxy] for Transmission. |
| 35 | | This way you can take advantage of all the features that your web server provides (authentication for example). |
| 36 | | |
| 37 | | First configure Transmission to allow web/rpc access from the web server IP. Then set up the web server to act as a proxy for Transmission. Below are example configurations for some of the well known web servers. |
