[SOLVED] WebUIAPI: how to track a base32 infohash download

[plinplocho]

Hi all, I'm implementing a simple gui for qbittorrent, using the new WebUIAPI v2. My problem is, when adding a download via a magnet uri, the /command/download method does not return a handle to the download. As I need to track its state (to perform certain file operation once it's finished) I had to resource to the hash contained in the uri. It works ok, except when it's a base32 hash, in such a case, qbittorrent seems to convert it to sha1 and use that for all the api methods. My goal would be to perform myself the conversion so i can match the hash used by bittorrent. I don´t know how to do that (seems trivial in python, but i´m using delphi) Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

[Edit]
I´ve recently added an entry to the wiki with more details about this, it´s here:

Solved myself. All i had to do is decode the hash (originally base32 encoded) and then re-encode it in base16. Just for the record, in delphi I've used SZCodeBaseX library, something like:
    Hash16:= SZEncodeBase16(SZDecodeBase32(Hash32));

Thanks anyway!

Good . Thanks for writing down the way you have solved it. Might help others who are having the same issue.

And welcome by the way.

Thanks Nemo, let me add that the new webUI api is great!

Flesh it out a bit and put it up  as a page on the Wiki (http://wiki.qbittorrent.org)

I was rather suggesting that you could do that,  

Personally I haven't  done any Delphi programming for over ten years, though as Pascal was the pretty much the first 'serious' language I learned to code in, I do have a bit of a 'soft spot' for Delphi.

ok ciaobaby, i´ll try then. English is not my native tongue so it´s a little bit harder for me so i´ll probably ask you for some advice before posting.

[ciaobaby]

Don't worry too much about getting the language precise, there are a few native English speakers (and a some Americans )  who can and will edit any grammar, typos or spellnig errors should it need any 'fixing' to hone the document into final shape

Well, for everyone interested in this, I added an entry to the wiki, the link is in my first post.
