It's .2 right now... updated some time ago. I came across it, probably, by mistake.

Oh whoops, the website still says 0.1. What were the changes for 0.2?

Also, a few more changes:

Code:

# Your PrimeNet password. # Not changed, just showing context for below
my $PNPassword = " ";

# Your time zone offest from UTC. (Only supports hour offsets.)
my $TimeZone = -6; # Default should be zero, but I'm UTC-6 :)

Code:

sub UTCString {
   my ($sec,$min,$hour,$mday,$mon,$year) = gmtime(time);

   $hour += $TimeZone;
   if($hour < 0 ) {
      $mday --;
      $hour += 24;
   } elsif( $hour > 23 ) {
      $mday ++;
      $hour -= 24;
   }

   return sprintf("%04d-%02d-%02d_%02d:%02d.%02d", $year+1900, $mon+1, $mday, $hour, $min, $sec);
}

Does the above work? (That is to say, is midnight 00:00 or 24:00 ?)
Edit: Nope, but hopefully you get the idea. I'll try and see where Google can get me.
Edit2: The elsif syntax is fixed, and now it does work for me, at least without having to change the date it worked. It just printed

Code:

2012-03-01_15:01.41 INFO:  Submission spider starting...
2012-03-01_15:01.41 WARN:  No results.txt file exists or it is empty.  Exiting.

a minute ago. For me it's 15:01, and obviously UTC it's 21:01.

You're right -- the code is stupid. Thanks for pointing that out. Will fix for 0.3.

Please keep in mind the entire spider was written in two hours.

I wasn't saying it was stupid, just something to fix.

And that's why we're here -- and that's why Stallman made the GPL -- so you (hopefully) don't have to spend much more than the time you've already put into it

I know you weren't saying it was stupid. I was. And it is...

The TimeZone delta should scaled to seconds, and then be applied to the result of the time() function before being passed into the gmtime() function.

What I did doesn't always work.

Regarding the submission spider and logging in:

Code:

sub LogIntoPrimeNet {
   my ($UN, $PW) = @_;
   my ($Success, $Text);

   Log(1, "Attempting to log into PrimeNet.  This can take a little while...");

   if (TalkToPrimeNet("account/\?user_login=${UN}&user_password=${PW}&B1=GO")) {
      ($Success, $Text) = TalkToPrimeNet("manual_result/");

      if ($Success) {
         if ($Text =~ /${UN} logged-in/) {
            Log(1, "Successfully logged into PrimeNet.");
         } else {
            Log(3, "Didn't find our username in the response; not logged in.  Exiting.");
            Log(0, "Response was:\n${Text}\n\n.");
            $Success = 0;
         }
      } else {
         Log(3, "PrimeNet returned a bad response; not logged in.  Exiting.");
         Log(0, "Response was:\n${Text}\n\n.");
      }
   }

   return $Success;
}

chalsall said somewhere in this mess of a forum (

) that being a good coder means catching all the errors, not just getting the 'usual' case right; more than half of the spider is error catching. It's a thorough(ly awesome) piece of code.
Edit: To beat a dead horse, I just changed my password in the file, and it told me this:

Code:

2012-03-02_00:03.05 INFO:  Submission spider starting...
2012-03-02_00:03.05 INFO:  Attempting to log into PrimeNet.  This can take a little while...
2012-03-02_00:03.10 ERR :  Didn't find our username in the response; not logged in.  Exiting.
2012-03-02_00:03.10 INFO:  Spider has finished.  Exiting.

@James (not chalsall):

The submit spider is really nice, but it causes a slight issue with your site:
http://mersenne-aries.sili.net/expon...tails=49820581
When it's submitted by spidey, but I upload the expo after your site observes it, then it's in twice, once as unknown and once by me.

I've noticed on the submission spider that I don't get proper credit for factors found. The server thinks they are P-1 results instead of TF. Is there a way to remedy this?

No. We've all been discussing this for quite some time. I've tested many ways, and nothing works.

As far as I know (now), PrimeNet gives P-1 credit for almost all mfakt* work because it doesn't understand the submission. James said PrimeNet will give F credit for smaller factors, but when the factor is outside what PrimeNet expects for a TF exponent, it gives PM1.

I had one show up correctly last night and thought it was fixed, but it's not... the factor was small enough for F credit.

See here and here (any may other places for more info)

I'm wondering if this could be due to how the spider submits the data. No factor lines are single lines, but factor lines are 2 lines long. If you upload your results, the server gets both lines at once and gives proper credit, the spider (unless I am wrong) seems to send one line at a time.

You're on the right track, as this was discussed before. I just haven't found a way to get the spider to do it correctly.
