 Initialize UPnP.

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
