WebAPI: /add: paused doesn't do anything. #22766
Description
qBittorrent & operating system versions
qBittorrent: 5.1.0 x64
Operating system: N/A (API access)
Qt: N/A
What is the problem?
The paused property on the form doesn't seem to be doing anything.
When "Do not start the download automatically" is "UNCHECKED":
- Adding
paused="true"doesn't ensure paused starting state
When "Do not start the download automatically" is "CHECKED":
- Adding
paused="false"doesn't automatically start the download
Even with autoTMM="false".
Steps to reproduce
Well, here's a minimal repro C# code in case it matters:
// WELL, use your URL/username/password
const string baseURL = "http://localhost:PORT";
const string username = "username";
const string password = "password";
public static async Task<bool> AddTorrentFromFileAsync(string torrentFilePath, bool startPaused = true) {
using var client = new HttpClient(handler) { BaseAddress = new Uri(baseURL) };
var authContent = new FormUrlEncodedContent([new("username", username), new("password", password)]);
await client.PostAsync("/api/v2/auth/login", authContent);
using var form = new MultipartFormDataContent();
using var fileContent = new ByteArrayContent(await File.ReadAllBytesAsync(torrentFilePath));
form.Add(content: fileContent, name: "torrents", fileName: Path.GetFileName(torrentFilePath));
if (startPaused) { form.Add(content: new StringContent("true"), name: "paused"); }
//form.Add(new StringContent("false"), "autoTMM"); // optionally.
await client.PostAsync("/api/v2/torrents/add", form);

No response
Log(s) & preferences file(s)
N/A -- various preference combos I've checked affect nothing related to pause.
