Hi

Just finished first stage of my emule addon and I'd like to have some feedback

Many mods feature a webserver now but a webserver has some problems. First of all the webserver puts some traffic on the upstream of your machine, the traffic especially grows if you include graphics etc. Second the view on your emule is restricted to what the webserver allows to be displayed (although some do feature skins/templates).
My approch is another, that is my Emule mod gives out some raw data which has to be displayed by someone else. This addresses the issues given above (although it requires some additional display instance). First the traffic is reduced dramatically because you don't have to send out all the HTML stuff but only the raw data which is much less. Second you can display the data in various ways. A PHP script on a webserver is probably the common one (some PHP samples are available) but you can also write a client in Java, C/C++ or anything to show youwhat your Emule is doing (controlling via remote is planned but has not yet begun )

So here it is, would be nice to have some feedback, error fixes and suggestions are welcome as well
modified source files
sample PHP interface
mod protocol
simple PHP sample
NEW! compiled binary

Note: You have to activate it in the preferences dialog prior to using it

hmm intresting thing!!!

ill try it!

Phoenix, I like this idea for two reasons:

1. My ISP does not allow me to run a webserver on port 80, if at all. It blocks HTTP type traffic or something.

2. Flexible and doesn't put much strain on the client's upline. You can make a little PHP page on a public server and let the public server handle the PHP generation, image bandwidth and all that. Excellent.

And finally:

You don't mind if I try implementing this in my statistics add-on, do you? I think it would fit in perfectly... I'll give you credit for the basecode, of course.

Sure, we could even put our stuff together Will be escpecially nice when I implement network export of the statistic tree (which will be probably quite a bunch in your mod )

version 0.1b up

Implemented statistic tree export. This allows you to export the stat tree as-is from emule. The mod take sit directly form the tree control so whatever is added to the tree, will be visible via network

finally binaries are available for all ppl that don't have vc.net (see first post)
