[WebUI as API Server]

Hello.

I've planned to share photos with my friends from NAS via WebUI, but WebUI doesn't accept Russian UTF-8 folders on my NAS (there is bug in webui.js).

Unfortunately, btsync doesn't have any public API, but it has WebUI in Linux version !

I've created simple console tool btsync-cli that communicates via WebUI. It can add shared folder or remove it from sync index.

bash-3.2# ./btsync-cli -a /volume1/Photos/Чтоб\ их\ за\ ногу/2002/2002-Лето/

Folder was added to sync folders

Folder: /volume1/Photos/Чтоб их за ногу/2002/2002-Лето/

Another useful tool is php bittorent-sync-client for btsync WebUI. You can build your own server-side WebUI

Now I'm working on standalone (you'll can install it on your hosting) photo sharing site via btsync.

I hope this will be useful to someone.

PS: btw, btsync process will crash in some cases if you call invalid urls with parameters..
