Web-Interface and Zip Files

[potman100]

Hi

When using Sab on your local computer you can pass a zip file with an Nzb file to it, and Sab will extract the Nzb from the zip file and add it to the que !

My question is, can you also send a Zip file to the web-interface / Api ?

I have got it working sending Nzbs to the web-interface / Api, but get an {"status":false,"nzo_ids":[]} when sending a zip file.

Thanks for any help.

SABnzbd will not accept uploaded ZIP files.

Hi shypike

Thanks for the info m8, its a shame it doesn't.

Do you think it would be worth putting a it in as a requested feature ?

I don't see an awful lot of added value,
but I'm prepared to put it on the very long feature wish list...

Hi

I am currently working on an Android app, and the use of Zip files on larger Nzb files can be quite drastic in
cutting down large 3-4 meg nzb files to 2-300k zip files, so rather than having to send 3-4 meg over 3g sending 2-300k
files is a lot faster and cost effective.

Its part of an indexing system that use's Usenet for the supply of Nzb files, rather than having to rely on Nzb Indexing sites.
I hope that I will be able to release a windows app soon, that will allow user's to take over creating the indexes, that will
update the client app's, creating a distributed index with no single point of failure.

Cannot you use http compression? SABnzbd supports that.

Hi

Yes, I use gzip now for single Nzbs, but also wanted to be able to have a que system implemented, so a user could create a
a list of Nzbs and the they would be zipped and sent to sab in one go.
