I have been trying to install the end of October nightly for Windows but seem to be having problems with control of the system by http (JSON or HTTP). Not sure what the issue is. Worked fine on the 08/31 nightly I have been using. Not sure what would have changed. I tried setting the JSONRPC port but that didn't really help.
Haven't been able to use my irule application which I had been using to control XBMC.
Anyone else having this problem?

I guess the "problem" is that we have removed the long deprecated HTTP-API so if you use that in your iRule it won't work because it isn't available anymore. You have to change your commands to use JSON-RPC.
But your problem description is very limited. "It doesn't work anymore" is no precise problem description. Do you get an error message? What doesn't work anymore? Can't you start the webserver or can you not enable a setting in XBMC? There are soo many things that could go wrong.

9090 is not the best port to choose because XBMC already uses that port for JSON-RPC TCP connections. I usually set the webserver port to 8080.

So I have the webserver set to port 8082, no password/userID. I have the JSONRPC set to 8080. Custom webservers work fine including the remote portions of them.
JSON-RPC doesn't work on that port, 9090 or 8082... I am setting it to 8080 in my advanced settings. It must be doing something because if I try to set up the webserver on 8080, it fails...

OK, I'm starting a new thread since I think my problem is related to iRule. Specifically, something was done to JSON-RPC to screw up what was previously working for iRule.
