Ah! Sorry, I didn't understand that. I thought there was still something I was doing wrong. As someone who develops opensource software myself, I understand that this is something you do in your free time, for free, and I greatly appreciate the time and effort you've put into esniper. Best of luck with your work on the new login mechanism, and I look forward to the results!

esniper searches for special content within the sign in page, which is needed as post parameter of the html request. So... what's the way past that?

I tried updating to the latest commit on legacy branch and now I get: Auction 233675128459: Cannot connect to URL /distil_r_captcha.html?requestId=8ae0850d-72ee-4270-91c4-1fd7b132870d&httpReferrer=%2Fws%2FeBayISAPI.dll%3FSignIn: URL using bad/illegal format or missing URL: Retrying...

fails to login, consistently, suddenly

Doh! I'm an idiot. Thanks!

Tried legacy, still fails on the auction in the original post. Other auctions are fine.

I'm aware that the same version number doesnt' mean the same code, but if it's the same tarball from the download link, then it should be. I did a build from git master, and now I can't get past login. It gets caught on the security page, I did what I usually do to work around this: go to a browser and logout/in, but I continue to get hit on this and now now auctions work: $ esniper .esniper_auction Auction 203062966253: Cannot connect to URL https://www.ebay.com/distil_r_captcha.html?requestId=77acfa18-c11f-4398-94b5-05fcda867bdc&httpReferrer=%2Fsignin%2Fs6.crl...
