coding questions

Hi codditor,

Firstoff: Welcome to the Phex forums!

From your questions I can only answer 1 and 3:

1) Yes: http://www.phex.org/wiki/index.php/A...headless.29.3F

Code:

java -Xmx512m -Djava.awt.headless=true -jar phex.jar

It still requires an X-server though, since Java depends on some of its functions.

Also you can't control it from there: You need to start it in GUI mode to setup your share downloads and preferences, then you can quit and restart in headless mode (we don't yet have commandline control).

3) Yes - just look in the search tab. When you click "new search" you have the option of selecting "browse host".

For 2 I sadly can't help directly.

I know that you need to initiate the download with the address of the host as first source - maybe that helps you.

What I did for subscriptions (with much help from Gregor) was this:

Code:

public void createDownload( String uriStr ) throws URIException
    {
        if (uriStr.length() == 0)
        {
            return;
        }
        URI uri = new URI( uriStr, true );
        Servent.getInstance().getDownloadService().addFileToDownload( uri, true );
    }

-> https://phex.svn.sourceforge.net/svn...ownloader.java

With phex.servent.Servent and org.apache.commons.httpclient.URI;

The URI was a magnet with a first source.

But I assume addFileToDownload() has a more convenient way to add a download with source (which doesn't require creating and then parsing an URI for the sole reason of passing a source - subscriptions were magnet uris, so this way was useful back then).
