    Quick and easy way of making Chrome send bittorrent magnet links to a remote Transmission instance using its API on OSX, with PHP, Javascript, and OSX's built-in Apache.
Chrome does not handle default protocol applications without a little encouragement. But we're about to take care of that (see Step 6).
Steps:


Install the shell script transmission-remote-magnet: cp ~/src/transmission-remote-magnet.sh /usr/local/bin/transmission-remote-magnet


Install the php file, which is required for link handling to work, and will likely require sudo: sudo cp ~/src/trm.php /Library/WebServer/Documents/


Enable PHP by uncommenting (aka deleting the # before) this line in /private/etc/apache2/httpd.conf with sudo vi  or an equivalent: LoadModule php5_module libexec/apache2/libphp5.so


You may also want to lock Apache to the localhost for security - in the file above, change the line Listen 80 to Listen 127.0.0.1:80


Start the built-in webserver: sudo apachectl start


Tell your Chrome to use the php file for the magnet MIME type. Navigate to http://127.0.0.1/trm.php and paste the following string in the navigation box, then hit Enter/Return: javascript:navigator.registerProtocolHandler("magnet","http://127.0.0.1/trm.php?url=%s","TRM")


Right now, when you click a magnet: link in Chrome, you get a readout page - X-Transmission-Session-Id, the full magnet link, and the output from Transmission that hopefully ends with "result":"success"}, and a javascript "Go Back" button. I may or may not change this behavior so that the page doesn't print a readout and auto-returns to the previous page. It was very useful for debugging, though, so I may keep it and style it with some CSS, maybe put the return on a timer... We'll see.
