heh, that would work, assuming nothing changes :) you still need to hit
'y' in mutt though to send it out...
I'll attach my perlscript... first, you set up mutt so:
macro pager A
<pipe-message>/home/dan/bin/lugnetauth.pl^M<delete-message>
so that hitting 'A' in the pager (after making sure your message is what
you wrote!) will authorize and delete the message.
(adjust the path to lugnetauth.pl, of course).
here's the script:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
# Dan Boger <lugnetauth@peeron.com>
# 06/19/01
#
# This script will accept the post authorization message from Lugnet
# (http://www.lugnet.com) and authorize them. It does not output
# anything, except to it's logfile ($log). Please DO NOT use this as an
# autoreply filter, since it'll break the whole reasoning for having
# authorization messages. Best use: bind it to a macro/key in your MUA,
# so when you recieve a message, you can read it, and if you do decide
# to authorize it, you can run the script on it.
use LWP::UserAgent;
my $ua = new LWP::UserAgent; my $KEY; my $req; my
$log="$ENV{HOME}/.lugnetauth.log"; #my $log="/dev/null";
while (<>) { next until
m!^\s+http://news.lugnet.com/news/post/auth/\?(\S*)!; $KEY = $1; last; }
die "No auth key found in message.\n" unless $KEY;
fork && exit;
$req = new HTTP::Request POST =>
"http://news.lugnet.com/news/post/auth/";
$req->content_type('application/x-www-form-urlencoded');
$req->content("KEY=$KEY\&CMD_APPROVE=Post+It");
my $res = $ua->request($req);
open (LOG, ">>$log") or die;
unless ($res->is_success) { print LOG "$KEY auth - request
failed.\n"; die; }
if ($res->content() =~ /Message successfully posted./) { print LOG "$KEY
auth - ok.\n"; exit; } elsif ($res->content() =~ /You have already
posted this message/) { print LOG "$KEY auth - dup: Already posted.\n";
} elsif ($res->content() =~ /Message does not exist/) { print LOG "$KEY
auth - fail: No such message.\n"; }
close LOG;
please, use responsibly :)
