i've been looking at some codes for neopets logins and i'm trying to teach myself but i was kinda hoping somebody could teach me the basics of making a neopets login and making it post your details like how many neopoints you have because when i'm looking at the code for this login i'm not understanding where the URL's are coming from and what they're doing.
Re: how would you go about making a neopets spiderer There are some pre-made Neopets wrappers here: viewforum.php?f=15
ok so i changed the subject to be a little more specific. could you teach me how to make a neopets login and explain to me the basics of how an http wrapper works and where all the url's are coming from because google really isn't helping and i see all these url's in the code i'm looking at but they seem to back track all the time and there's parts of url's and it's very tough to look at and understand.
Well, do you know how POST and GET requests work? If not, I suggest reading up a little bit on the HTTP protocol. I suggest downloading the Firefox add-on TamperData, as it will help you figure out the correct POST requests for Neopets.
ok thank you for the help i've successfully made a neopets login and i'm hoping to be able to expand from there +rep
Congratulations If you could figure out how to do logins, everything else should only be slightly more difficult. If something doesn't work, check your POST data as well as your referrer URL.
