Hi,
I'm working on a php script that creates .nfo files for the movies I want to add to the library (without the nfo's, the updater often picks the wrong movie or doesn't get added altogether).
To communicate with the xbmc device, I use the deprecated webserver HTTP API. This seems my only option to upload files directly from my script.
The script works great, with one flaw: sometimes (usually the first time) the file fails to upload, although the response I get from xbmc is "OK"
I know this approach is deprecated now, so a bugfix would be too much to ask. But will there be (or is there
) a way to achieve the very same in the current API soon? Or is there a good reason it's not possible with the current API?
I could go for a upload - check file - upload again -approach, but that would be the dirty way
Hope someone can shed some light on this

CURLOPT_HEADER => false,
CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION => true
);The script works great, with one flaw: sometimes (usually the first time) the file fails to upload, although the response I get from xbmc is "OK"
