Some scripts to automatically do stuff on orkut.
These scripts try to do things really slow and easy, in order not to overload orkut's servers.
An attempt is made to make the behaviour of these script mimic that of normal browsing behaviour
with mozilla. Some differences are still there: the order of the headers in the HTTP request is different,
perl-libwww sends a 'TE' ( transfer-encoding ) header with each HTTP request, and the order of the parameters to requests may be different.
No images are ever requested, and Currently No HTTP keep-alive is used.
I should have a look at WWW::Mechanize.
- Orkut.pm
- Perl module with several functions for getting information from orkut:
- GetStats
- GetFriendsList($uid)
- GetCommunityList($cid)
- Search
- SetCountry
- GetCountryList
- OrkutCredentials
These function keep a local cache in a subdirectory named 'cache', which must be created in advance.
If nescesary they will login to orkut, with username and password specified in a file named '.orkutrc'
in the directory pointed to by either $HOME or $USERPROFILE. ( $USERPROFILE for win32 users ).
The script is not yet robust against orkut server failures.
