And now I'm wondering if I said something I shouldn't have...

I think I like Souffle. He posts funny pictures and image macros and doesn't afraid of anything. And I think he speaks for everyone here when he stands against pony rule 34.

How did you get over 11000 (BvS flashback :p)? Isn't it maximum 1000 points per ball? Even with potting the cue ball, that seems impossible. And yes, I'm jealous :p

Vexarian for Moderator, he will do the impossible.

Now I'm going to be up all night, trying to get a higher score, which I know is going to be impossible.:dodgy:

He might have just faked the POST header. It's not hard to do.

That doesn't seem to work for me. I'm assuming you mean changing the score in the following adress:
http://thefanfictionforum.net/games.php?action=newscore&gid=1&score=4860

No, I don't, I mean the header itself.

I know nothing about coding, so I have no idea what you're talking about :blush:

It's okay. POST headers do not exist, but we do have HTTP headers and POST content. If you want to fake the data, you'd want to edit the POST content and not the HTTP headers.

Well I didn't fake it, I don't even think it's possible to do so.
I also didn't think it was possible to score more than 11000, yet you managed that :p Ah well, still have some other top scores to brag about :p

Actually, a POST request is almost entirely in the HTTP header. You can, however, have the information being sent as the content, if you want. It's easier to do, but pointless and a bad idea for just a few text tuples.

Off the top of my head, a POST header (much condensed, I assume you're not interested in referer data, or acceptable charsets and such) is something like

POST thefanfictionforum.net/games.php HTTP/1.1
Host: thefanfictionforum.net
Content-Length: 0
Cookies: Allsortsacookieshereplusyoursessionid
uzqm: (I think)informationtosend.

It's not quite as easy to spoof, and you have more leeway for obscuring it than if you just send it straight as the content.


EDIT: Just checked. It actually just sends it as a plaintext POST content of content-length 0 (?!).
So it's REALLY easy to fake.

That isn't how it works. The header and the body of a raw HTTP message is only separated by an extra '\r\n'.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypertext_Transfer_Protocol#Request_message

Some HTTP header capturing tools will automatically include the POST content along with the HTTP headers, because the behaviour is useful. And perhaps reformatted to be more readable, as is the case with Firefox's built-in developer tools. My guess is that is what gives you the impression that POST content is also part of the HTTP headers.

This is an example of an actual HTTP POST request, modified for brevity and privacy. Captured using Firefox's Live HTTP Headers and I had to restore the missing '\r\n' that it did not preserved.

Code:
POST /newreply.php?tid=19546&processed=1 HTTP/1.1
Host: thefanfictionforum.net
User-Agent: [redacted]
Cookie: [redacted]
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

That's what fiddler is feeding me for billiards pro.

And just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. When are you guys going to learn that I actually know a little bit about how the internet works? Christ, this is getting annoying.
