Hello guys,
let's say I want to make a script that auto-sends a request to this site: http://makemehost.com/

So I can host maps without inserting each and every parameter every time.

I looked around for a bit, but I can't seem to figure out how to do it.

Could any of you help with that?
Not asking to be spoon-fed, just to be directed.

Thanks in advance

I got nothing, but I think StackOverflow is your friend on this one

I looked around for a short while, and found this, might be useful. It's about sending a GET or POST request to a URL.

Or this, which is on submitting a form.

Both are in stackoverflow, in Python. Sorry if you've already seen these

Thank you for the answer.
I first looked around for POST and GET, but the thing is: this is some javascript code (javascriptubmitform()) that I activate on the site by the mean of the big button, then (i suppose) the parameters that I have inserted into the form are somewhat processed by the site...
Is this a "normal" POST request? This javascript code makes me uncomfortable...

I think my biggest problem is that I don't know how does the whole process works.

Simplified, lightweight HTTP request client libraries.

This is worth a look.

Thank you Lux. I'll check it out.

Sorry for the double posting, and a question: there is a way to edit the older post and let others know there is something new in the thread?

Anyway: Thank you Lux! After a while I managed to make it work.
I used Wireshark to see exactly the content of the packet being sent when i clicked on the button in the site, then I coded the header and the payload like that and it worked!

Thanks again!

Good that you got it to work!

I assume you're making some kind of bot to create free game servers without having to visit the site? if so, that's awesome!

Not precisely a bot, because the designated "owner" has to join the game within 5 minutes, so I need to be active anyway.
The usefulness of this script is that it let me host a game just executing the file from my desktop, without visiting the site or inserting parameters.

I found a weird thing tho: under a certain number of characters, the post request didnt work, gave a strange timeout error and I still don't understand why.
Edit: watching the header it occurred to me: maybe the "certain number of characters" is the number that I put in the "Content-Length" field. I have to run some tests...

The code, for those who are interested:

Spoiler:

Code:
