aria2q about aria2-tools HOT 6 CLOSED

I'm aware of that. I'll have to consider the best way to support that.

There are a few possibilities for how aria2q could read in the username and password:

• take them as command line switches
• take them from environment variables
• prompt for them interactively
• save them in a file in home directory or /etc and get the login info from there

Which method would be most useful to you?

I guess the best way should be to define them as variables in aria2cq.

Do you mean you want to hard-code your username and password directly in
the script?

If so, then no, hard-coding usernames and passwords in a publicly-shared
script is always a bad idea.

In absence of any other preferences, I think I'll get it to take them from
a file in your home directory. Might be a while though because I'm short
on time at the moment.

Yes, that will be another good option. The script wont be public on user
system and since we are not dealing with any "such sensitive" information
it should be ok.

I've added code to fetch the connection URL from the ARIA2Q_URL environment variable if set. You can include your username and password in there.

For example

$ export ARIA2Q_URL=http://user:password@localhost:6800/rpc
$ aria2q

In the same stroke, I've also enabled connecting to different hostnames via different ports.

You can put the export ARIA2Q_URL=etc... line into your .bashrc or .profile if you don't want to set it manually each time.

Hope it helps
