| | Drowning Pool - Tear Away | ] | Hello all i'm trying to get this protocol thing down, but have a question i can't seem to asnwere. It deals with using different modes, and when using different ones is the returned packet structure the same across the board ? (minus some specific values valid to say, "login", or "getfriends"). I've been trying to use the "getfriends" mode with no luck. I've tried : sprintf(getfriends,"(all other info included, as well as size\length) mode=getfriends&name=%s&password=%s", ljName, ljPass); then just sending it to the already open connection. But /if/ i get a response it's not the one described in the "Modes" docs. I'm using C, but C++ code is just fine if you can help. Thanks in advance.. ....Frank M.... |

I've got a client I started writing which may have some useful code, at http://sourceforge.net/projects/liveqt . It's for the Sharp Zaurus, but the Qt calls should be mappable to socket() stuff.
Are you doing CRLF for the newlines? Have your variables been URL-encoded?
If you don't get the documented response, what do you get? Do you get the same thing if you try the same request via telnet?

Do any modes work?

You are using POST and not GET, right? And if you don't mind, paste *exactly* what your client is sending to the server (sans password) and we should be able to help... :)

Alright i get a perfect return when i use the login mode.. The code i'm using for the getfriends mode is : sprintf(getfriends, "POST /interface/flat HTTP/1.0\r\nHost: www.livejournal.com\r\nContent-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\nContent-length: %d\r\n\r\nmode=getfriends&user=franknbeans&password=xxxxxxxxxx", 78, ljName, ljPass); bytes_sent = send(sockd, getfriends, strlen(getfriends), 0); /*error check*/ do { bytes_read = recvfrom(sockd, buffer, sizeof(buffer) - 1, 0, &temp, sizeof(temp)); printf("Bytes_read -> %d\nBuffer-> %s", bytes_read, buffer); }while(bytes_read != 0);
Now all it does is say 0 bytes read, and if anything is there for buffer it's garbled junk, or what i recieved from the login. If you need more of the code let me know i'll post it. I thought this was the relevant info though. Thanks again for all the help... Frank M.
Dude, I have a set of C modules / C++ classes you could use. So far, I've encoded the login and post modes, but you could extend them— there's an internal helper function/method that does most of the work, all the mode functions have to do is pass the important variables as a request structure. It's in the code. Email me at cyberlizard0 AT yahoo.com if you want to use 'em. | |
