Login problem: ebay.de vs. ebay.com

Since ebay changes the login mechanism esniper not nonger works. As you can see from a closer look into esniper.c, there are several options available: #define DEFAULT_HISTORY_HOST "offer.ebay.com" #define DEFAULT_PREBID_HOST "offer.ebay.com" #define DEFAULT_BID_HOST "offer.ebay.com" #define DEFAULT_LOGIN_HOST "signin.ebay.com" #define DEFAULT_MYEBAY_HOST "my.ebay.com" {"historyHost",NULL,(void*)&options.historyHost,OPTION_STRING, LOG_NORMAL, NULL, 0}, {"prebidHost",NULL,(void*)&options.prebidHost,...

The esniper do not work anymore, because of the JS within the login process. A complete redesign based on java is needed. I've done some investigation with javafx, but I'm too busy at the moment to do some more development.

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.

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 Tony, 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

Currently I'm to busy to investigate this issue. Integration a JS engine would definitely the end of a "lightweight ebay sniper".
