hi I'm running esniper-2-35-0 on centos 6, I've been having failed logins for weeks and haven't been able to use esniper. I know ebay have beefed up their login process something unreal. is this the end of esniper now?
if you read the discussion https://sourceforge.net/p/esniper/bugs/797/ you can see, what is the problem with the new login process. With a full functional js-Engine you can get the required cookies, but I haven't found a js-Engine with the capability of node-js, that could be used and linked with C.
Greetings

Would GraalVM (https://www.graalvm.org/) be of assistance here?

I currently consider to write a completely new esniper based on java. This would also solve the problem with different target architectures and the provided files can run in (almost) every java runtime environment.

Hi, this would be very useful :-)
looking long for a working snipper running on linux, just found and not working anymore
any timeline planned for a first java release?

instead of having to rewrite everything almost from scratch? As always, I'm not thinking my advice would be relevant (probably the exact contrary!) and I'm sure Michael has already taken into consideration all the possible scenarios and solutions. I'm just trying to help at my best (not that much!). :)

Hi and thanks for your follow-up. That's interesting and I would give it a try for sure. By what you say, it should be something similar to BOM BE (Bid o matic browser extension) which is available for Firefox (and maybe Chrome too but I'm not sure). This is, unfortunately, out of the scope of what we're talking of here.
esniper is a completely different thing. It's lightweight and it can be used on hardware with very limited resources and with just a linux shell available. I've been using it for years on a mips router with a 300Mhz CPU and 32Mb of RAM, on an Android mobile (for example, BOM BE works only on Firefox desktop and not reliably, at least for me) just compiling it under Termux and I can continue. That's why (though I completely respect your effort and the time and dedication it has needed, I'd like to underline it) the work of Michael and all the other developers who work and/or have worked on this project need to be praised and that's why losing esniper forever would be, at least to me, a GREAT loss. Thanks again for your message! :)

As a workaround, could someone just log in, export their cookies to a netscape-style cookies.txt file, then tell esniper to use those cookies? They may occasionally expire but this might rather quickly move the state from "completely broken" to "occasionally broken with an easy fix"

Hi Michael,
That would seem to be a good approach, I agree

Hi. What about this one

Hello
Let me suggest this free alternative I developed :
powersniper-for-ebay
It is a Chrome browser extension, so it works on Linux Windows and Mac.
Disclosing password is not required since the eBay Chrome browser session is used instead.

It's not only a cookie issue. The whole login mechanism is different and must be changed. That's why I'm thinking about a "jsniper" based on java.
Is there any news? I would appreciate it if I could use my PI-hole as a sniper as well.
