Permanent Programming 11

[yourmysin]

Hey guys, Glad to see you all are enjoying the mission. I was the one who developed this mission and while I did so I was not sure how the users would like this sort of mission.

Vivekn: My only suggestion is to read the other posts.

Just wondering if the decoded string should be just numbers and letters. i seem to extract the shift right and the numbers but the decoded string isnt always just alphanumeric

I am getting the correct solution. Submitting the answer always returns: Sorry, your answer is wrong.

Example:
hash: 93%99%105%88%117%83%
shift: 28
solution: AGM<Y7

Actual post that was submitted and received by the server:
[solution] => AGM<Y7

Result:
Sorry:
Your answer is wrong

I am using Java to complete this. I am submitting my result using:
PostMethod of apache commons httpclient.

I have also tried using HttpURLConnection and posting the data using a DataOutputStream and using the post method to write the answer to the server.

WTF is up? Is there a specific charset that must be used in order to get this to work?

Are you sure your solution is correct?
(And no, please dont tell us how you solved it, if you solved it.)

Yes BhaaL - the answer is correct. This has been verified by developers.

93%99%105%88%117%83% <-- 6 shifted characters
AGM<Y7 <---- 7 characters

Developers have mistaked. Be sure, your answer is not correct. If it would be correct, the site cant tell you that it is wrong

to anyone who might be stuck but not sure why, make sure that you reverse the shift, ie:
shift: 1 means shift everything by -1

That was the easiest of the programming missions in my opinion. It only took me apache + a few lines of PHP.

Python + curl (pycurl) ftw. It took me a bit to realize that you needed to keep the cookie to post data. Other than that cool mission!
