Re: JSON-RPC password - Bitcoin Institute

The Transmission BitTorrent client does authenticated JSON-RPC; see “Remote Control” section of: https://trac.transmissionbt.com/wiki/ConfigurationParameters

E.g. setting.json file might look like:

{
    "rpc-enabled":1
    "rpc-authentication-required": 1,
    "rpc-password": "xxxxxxxxxx",
    "rpc-port": 9091,
    "rpc-username": "xxxxxxxxxx",
    "rpc-whitelist-enabled":1
    "rpc-whitelist":"127.0.0.1,192.168.*.*"
}
It uses HTTP 'basic' authentication (Authorization: basic base64(username:password) in the HTTP headers).
