Curl --cookie /api/v2/torrents/add

[Harryb382003]

I had been having an issue with cookies when attempting to add a torrent.

I have been using the following code to gather "info" from qBt:
curl -K curl_info
where:

-i
-A "Qbt_curl"
-b "curl_cookies.txt"
header "Referer: http://localhost:8080"
url "http://localhost:8080/api/v2/torrents/info"
libcurl info.c

is the contents of the config file. This works fine. Note the line for cookies.

When trying to add using this configuration:

-i
-A "Qbt_curl"
-b "curl_cookies.txt"
header "Referer: http://127.0.0.1:8080"
header "Content-Type: multipart/form-data"
form "name=torrents"
form "filename=@testing.torrent"
form "savepath=testing"
form "root_folder=false"
form "autoTMM=false"
form "paused=true"
form "firstLastPiecePrio=true"
url "http://127.0.0.1:8080/api/v2/torrents/add"
libcurl add_torrent.c

I get the "forbidden" error.
If I switch -b "curl_cookies.txt" to -b "SID=<cookie_data>" it behaves as it should.
As we know it is the second method that is documented in the wiki.

It just seems so natural to me to use -b "curl_cookies.txt" for adding the torrent because it just worked to get info, whereas -b "SID=<cookie_data>" seems somewhat inconsistent even though it is documented.

I am wondering if I should submit this as a bug/feature request?
