Scraper: Base64 encode for query string - Pennywise83 - 2009-03-18
Hi guys,
I'm approaching to the xbmc development and I want to make a new scraper for the Tv Series.
Unfortunately the website that i want to scrape uses a base64 encoded string as query string.
For example, i I search for "Lost" I get this url:
http://myscrapesite.com/search.php?q=bG9zdA==
where "bG9zdA==" is "Lost" encoded in base64.
There is a way to pass a base64 encoded value to the rss?

the nice thing about a base64 function is you can use phproxy for retrieving info from your website
example http://www.c-h-o-c-o-l-a-t-e.info/index.php?q=aHR0cDovL3hibWMub3JnL2ZvcnVtL3Nob3d0aHJlYWQucGhwP3Q9NDcxMTg%3D&hl=0
