OK timdorr...

I'm not sure if anyone else is using this yet or not, but maybe something we could put in here to make things a little bit easier...

Could we put begin and end character strings to signify begin of data and end of data. I'm just trying to recommend a standardized mechanism. It's currently possible to get the data, but it would be really easy if we can look for certain characters or delimiters so to speak.

Hmm...Just something that could/would be consistent.

I am. The character is a newline.

I am. The character is a newline.

Well....yeah. Let me rephrase...

Given The following lines:

<strong>Username:</strong> userA<br />\n

<strong>E-mail:</strong> [email protected]<br />\n

What I was trying to ask was delimiting it so you could parse the labels (Username and Email)

and then parse the data userA and [email protected]

But it's already delimited enough I guess. An XML format would be cool, but this will work well also. You just have to parse through the strings. No big deal. :D

OK Timdorr, can you add a whitespace in between the last character of an item and the <br />?

Like change

<strong>Username:</strong> userA<br />\n

to

<strong>Username:</strong> userA <br />\n

If you can do that, then you can use this Regular Expression to match the Label and Data Elements.

&lt;strong&gt;(?&lt;label&gt;\w*\s*\W*\S*)&lt;/strong&gt;(?&lt;data&gt;\w*\s*\W*\S*)

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA......

Sorry Timdorr. I was looking at what Sietse was displaying....you already have it delimited with carriage returns... I just now got the return from you.

Sorry for the confusion....

:argh:

Actually would I be able to get the complete user group list? Like whenever I login with the link above, it gives my user group as "@ Subscrib". It would just simplify things on my end, because I'm going to have the user group in the profiles at Neomap.

chorpeac, I should add you to my MSN list.

Sorry, bout I think neowin's login form looks a bit ugly. Are we allowed to use our own external forms to process the login.

ie:

&lt;form action="https://www.neowin.net/login/?url=http://www.sitename.com/login.php" method="post"&gt;
&lt;input type="hidden" name="action" value="do_login"&gt;

&lt;table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5" border="0"&gt;
	&lt;tr&gt;
  &lt;td&gt;Username:&lt;/td&gt;
  &lt;td&gt;&lt;input type="text" name="username" size="30"&gt;
	&lt;/tr&gt;
	&lt;tr&gt;
  &lt;td&gt;Password:&lt;/td&gt;
  &lt;td&gt;&lt;input type="password" name="password" size="30"&gt;
	&lt;/tr&gt;
	&lt;tr&gt;
  &lt;td colspan="2" align="center"&gt;&lt;input type="submit" value="login"&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
	&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;/form&gt;

Ah well, you know even if that did work, you wouldn't know if the username and password combination was accepted/correct or not.

Actually I managed to get it working on my webserver.

Errr.. I don't mean to be rude or anything but do you know what you're talking about?

Of course it would work. I've tested it and it does work. There's no reason why it shouldn't. I'm just after permission that we CAN use it as it may appear malicious.

Anyways, nice work people.

I've got that itchy feeling that this time next month we'll have a hugely complicated protocol up and running (Y).

Well, I have never posted data to another site through a form like that. I'm using the thing right now, and I see how it works. I'm just curious how this method handles an invalid login. What happens? Does it return a false or something? If the login is accepted do you still get to access the returned values?

    • Quantum Error Correction Validated in Nature: Microsoft and Quantinuum Log 800-Fold Improvement Two years after the original press-release announcement, independently peer-reviewed results published in Nature on June 10, 2026, have confirmed that Microsoft and Quantinuum achieved an 800-fold reduction in quantum error rates on real trapped-ion hardware — the largest gap between physical and logical error rates ever independently validated.    What Quantum Error Correction Actually Does — and Why Breaking Even Is Hard https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318329/20260613/quantum-error-correction-validated-nature-microsoft-quantinuum-log-800-fold-improvement.htm   Quantum Computing Wiring Bottleneck Cracked by HKU Silicon Carbide Chip at Qubit Temperature Engineers at the University of Hong Kong have built the first cryogenic control chip that operates at the same temperature as superconducting qubits — 10 millikelvin, or just one-hundredth of a degree above absolute zero — without generating the heat that has forced every competing approach to park its electronics hundreds of meters of cable away. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318325/20260613/quantum-computing-wiring-bottleneck-cracked-hku-silicon-carbide-chip-qubit-temperature.htm  
    • RevPDF 4.5.0 by Razvan Serea RevPDF is a free, fully offline PDF editor for Windows, macOS, and Linux that lets you edit text and images directly inside PDF files — no internet connection, no account, and no cloud uploads required. Unlike bloated alternatives that demand subscriptions and constant connectivity, RevPDF fits in under 60MB on desktop while delivering a complete editing toolkit: annotate, redact, sign, compress, split, merge, convert, and reorganize pages, all processed locally on your device. Smart font matching ensures edited text blends seamlessly with the original, and multi-language support includes RTL scripts such as Arabic and Hebrew. Where most PDF editors force you to choose between features and simplicity, RevPDF manages both. You can build interactive forms from scratch with text fields, checkboxes, and dropdowns, permanently redact sensitive data before sharing, draw freehand on contracts and diagrams, and add custom watermarks — all without a single file leaving your machine. Edit Text and Images Directly Inside PDFs RevPDF supports true inline PDF editing — not just annotation layers on top of a document, but actual modification of existing text and images within the file. A smart font-matching engine identifies the font used in the original document and applies it automatically when you make edits, so changes blend naturally with the surrounding content. You can reposition elements, resize images, and update text across single pages or entire documents. RevPDF 4.5.0 release notes: This is one of the biggest updates to RevPDF yet. A lot of things people have been asking for are finally here. New Features Auto Redaction Permanently redact sensitive text and areas from your PDFs before sharing. Clean, irreversible, and fully offline. Comments, Links & Bookmarks Add comments for review, insert clickable links, and create bookmarks to jump around long documents without scrolling forever. Find & Replace Search across the whole document and replace text in one go. Long overdue. Split Pages Vertically or Horizontally Split any page down the middle, vertically or horizontally. Perfect for scanned books or double-page spreads. New Drawing Tools More tools for freehand drawing and markup, better for annotations, sketches, and detailed notes. Continuous Scrolling in Editor The editor now scrolls continuously through pages instead of jumping between them. Working through long documents is a lot smoother now. PDF Metadata Editor View and edit the metadata stored inside your PDFs, including title, author, subject, and keywords. Better Font Matching Text edits now blend in more naturally by doing a better job of matching the original font. Tabbed PDF Viewer Open multiple PDFs at once in tabs and switch between them without going back to the home screen. Add Links Insert hyperlinks anywhere in your PDF, to external URLs or to other pages within the document. Share & Print Shortcuts Share or print directly from the editing screen, home screen, and viewer. No extra steps. Minor Updates Paste images directly from clipboard into your PDF New image editing tools for more control over images inside documents Bug Fixes Fixed file saving issues on Windows and Linux Everything still works fully offline. No login, no cloud, no account. Your files stay on your device.

    • Interesting. I'm not using a VPN with my phone. I tried though my home internet (Rogers) and my cellular internet (Telus) using their respective DNS servers and both trigger the dialog above.
