Re: [DQSD-Users] tips for tinypic search

Hi Tom,

 However the page uses an UPLOAD_IDENTIFIER which changes
 each time, I guess this is one of those session variables.
 ...
 Any tips on how to tackle this one appreciated!

You need to do a preliminary get of the page and parse the results to
obtain the UPLOAD_IDENTIFIER. I do this in a couple searches... Icap is
a good example (darn, looks like the service is either broken or they
changed the way it works). Anyway, it does a preliminary get and then
reads the resulting text and obtains the form token, same as what you're
trying to do. I wrote one to clean SourceForge lists, too, but it
looks like that one may have never got uploaded? If you can't figure out
the regex, let me know and I'll take a look for you.

I think you might have a problem with it though, since the IE security
model disables the ability to script the source of input=file tags.
You could do it by pushing the whole thing through your own wrapper - a
script that handles the upload, too, and then returns the resulting
content to read the key and opens up the player view for you.

[DQSD-Users] tips for tinypic search

2007-03-20 Thread Tom Corcoran
I've been looking at doing a search for http://www.tinypic.com. I was 
hoping to model it on tinyurl, with the url appearing in the taskbar.

However the page uses an UPLOAD_IDENTIFIER which changes each time, I 
guess this is one of those session variables. The tinyurl site does not 
seem to have equivalent.

Any tips on how to tackle this one appreciated!

Thanks, Tom.
