Function Documentation

void purple_upnp_cancel_port_mapping

(

UPnPMappingAddRemove *

mapping_data

)

Cancel a pending port mapping request initiated with either purple_upnp_set_port_mapping() or purple_upnp_remove_port_mapping().

Parameters:

mapping_data

The data returned when you initiated the UPnP mapping request.

void purple_upnp_discover	(	PurpleUPnPCallback	cb,
		gpointer	cb_data
	)

Sends a discovery request to search for a UPnP enabled IGD that contains the WANIPConnection service that will allow us to recieve the public IP address of the IGD, and control it for forwarding ports.

The result will be cached for further use.

Parameters:

	cb	an optional callback function to be notified when the UPnP discovery is complete
	cb_data	Extra data to be passed to the callback

const gchar* purple_upnp_get_public_ip

(

void

)

Gets the IP address from a UPnP enabled IGD that sits on the local network, so when getting the network IP, instead of returning the local network IP, the public IP is retrieved.

This is a cached value from the time of the UPnP discovery.

Returns:

The IP address of the network, or NULL if something went wrong

UPnPMappingAddRemove* purple_upnp_remove_port_mapping	(	unsigned short	portmap,
		const gchar *	protocol,
		PurpleUPnPCallback	cb,
		gpointer	cb_data
	)

Deletes a port mapping in a UPnP enabled IGD that sits on the local network to this purple client.

Essentially, this function takes care of deleting the port forwarding after they have completed a connection so another client on the local network can take advantage of the port forwarding

Parameters:

	portmap	The port to delete the mapping for
	protocol	The protocol to map to. Either "TCP" or "UDP"
	cb	an optional callback function to be notified when the mapping removal is complete
	cb_data	Extra data to be passed to the callback

Returns:

Data which can be passed to purple_upnp_port_mapping_cancel() to cancel

UPnPMappingAddRemove* purple_upnp_set_port_mapping	(	unsigned short	portmap,
		const gchar *	protocol,
		PurpleUPnPCallback	cb,
		gpointer	cb_data
	)

Maps Ports in a UPnP enabled IGD that sits on the local network to this purple client.

Essentially, this function takes care of the port forwarding so things like file transfers can work behind NAT firewalls

Parameters:

	portmap	The port to map to this client
	protocol	The protocol to map, either "TCP" or "UDP"
	cb	an optional callback function to be notified when the mapping addition is complete
	cb_data	Extra data to be passed to the callback

Returns:

Data which can be passed to purple_upnp_port_mapping_cancel() to cancel
