Anybody know how to link directly to our private
message page here? I've tried using the URL from
a browser that shows the link with password and
username, but it still goes to the main forum page... Sad

Thanks, Mac Smile

http://Nickname:Password@www.vdsworld.com/forum/privmsg.php?folder=inbox takes me to the PM Inbox, but that exact link with "Nickname" and "Password" still let's me into my Inbox. So if you don't have autologin checked I'm not sure you can feed it the nick and pass.
Or I could be way away from what you're looking for.. Smile

Thanks Sheep, Smile

That gets me there, but it does require auto-login
(works with cookies I guess?).

I was hopin' for a way to auto-dload the page with
VDSIPP to check for new PMs, and was also gonna
check the outbox the same way (if I had sent a PM).

Anyone got any ideas? Confused

Cheers, Mac Smile

Mac,

Cookies are normally sended with the HTTP-Header. Maybe you can try to make something with that. Otherwise you should make your own HTTP client with TCP/IP. Then you can send whatever you like...

Thanks Skit, but I'm a cookie moron. I have no
clue how they work... Confused

If that's the only way to dload the PM page, I'm
gonna need a serious code example...

Cheers, Mac Smile

Hi Mac,

You can take a look at the webserver I once made. Then you can see how a basic command is sended to a webserver. Maybe you can get the cookies to work then...

Download it here. You'll need Tommy's vdsinet for it...

I looked at it Skit, but I'm not sure how that's
supposed to help me with cookies. I don't want
to re-invent the wheel - just dload a single page...

When I said I have no clue, I was serious. I don't
even know which cookie (or part of a cookie?) I'm
supposed to use, or what to do with it.

I was thinkin' Garrett had posted about cookies
before, but haven't been able to find anything by
searching.

Hey GAAAARRRRRREEETTTTTTTTT....

Cheers, Mac Smile

Hi Mac,

One thing I know is that Garrett made a program called J.A.C.K. (Just Another Cookie Killer). I don't know what the program does, but you can ask him...

OK, I figured how to get a direct link to the PM page...

Login with cookies disabled, and auto-login unchecked.
Go to the PM page (check messages) and copy the URL.

Thanks for the help guys. Wink

Hi FreezingFire,

I think the search function of this forum doesn't use a wordlist. It just search all the posts, so if you can't find something, it will probably not be here....

The SQL database that the forum uses does indeed use a wordlist...
It may have been lost when VDSWORLD was attacked. Sad
