Programming 12

[eljonto]

coding an http client in c# takes exactly two lines, i dont see how it could be more simple

Yea, c#- which not everybody uses or likes to use

I tried using the application I wrote for programming 11 (just changing to url and string manipulations). I couldn't get it to post the answer correctly for some reason though. Finally switched to the down and dirty clipboard copy / paste method mentioned and got it to work.

I'm not sure if my "url encoding" was off, or if something is fundamentally different between the way the answers should be posted to challenge 11 and challenge 12. If anyone would like to share any thoughts on this, please send me a pm.

Great challenge, thanks again!

POST form requires adding 'submitbutton' & a value (any value) to urlencode

I think this one is easier than programming mission 11
just some string processing and the input was in a inputbox, I didn't have to get the source from the page first and find it

one weird thing.. when i coded it that javascript 'clicked' the submit button it didn't work, i had to click it myself :s

Depending on the method taken to complete these, 11 & 12 should be fairly similar. I used the same basic Python code for both, just had to make some changes to 'the guts' of it. They were fun, though.

Easy!=Fun

Actually, both of them are fun, and none of them were really hard, but my solution of 11 was the half of the solution of the 12
(they aren't long ), but i needed to think of them more than 1 hour to get them.

hy all!

using the hint that Defience posted on page 2 I wrote 17 lines of python.
it gives good output and it is faster then I can blink my eyes.

now this is where the hard part starts... I can't submit it in time. I tried over 50 times and even asked someone else to hit the enter but I just can't post it in under 5 sec!

the crux has nothing to do with writing code..

I suggest: 20 > the time limit > 7 seconds. OR between 2 and 3 seconds (using your code and cookie to do all the work...)

Why don't you have your code also submit the answer?

because in this forum topic every one said that they did it "ctrl-c ctrl-v style" and the time limit would suggest it as well.

but I guess I'll have to look into it..
