It's a common error set the header connection to keep-alive in this type of challenges. Look at the httpclient.php and then search for in both methods (GET and POST)

GeSHi`ed php code

 
//...
$header.="Connection: keep-alive";

And then, set it to close:

GeSHi`ed php code

 
//...
$header.="Connection: Close";

Maybe, if you change that, the server won't wait the keep-alive timeout, and the result will send in less seconds.

I looked at general HTTP traffic and almost every time a keep-alive header is sent.
It kept waiting even when i set the socket timeout to 1 second.
I've coded and recoded the script without success but this was the cause of all problems. Thank you HaDeS !

The timeout in fsockopen in PHP refers to the time that the script waits until there is a succesful connection, if the server takes too long to accept the conection, then we talk about timeout.
For that reason, there is a big difference between timeout on fsockopen and timeout specified in the request header.
I'm happy that you've made the challenge.

I'm definately messing up somehow, I can't login properly Drool

I'm trying to do it with pycurl and I have this rule: c.setopt(pycurl.COOKIE, "WC4_SID=...") or am I forgetting something?

I used a javascript/greasemonkey combo to solve it, but it keeps on getting times slightly than 1.337 (nice leet) ..
Any suggestions ?
Script is very very basic :

GeSHi`ed javascript code

 
var pgcode = document.getElementById("page").innerHTML;
var redirurl = "http://www.wechall.net/challenge/training/programming1/index.php?answer="+pgcode;
window.location = redirurl;

I'm very new to PHP.. haven't tried doing it by that method yet.. (also a bit clueless how I could do it that way Drool

)

The new server is quite slow, and 1.337 seconds might be quite hard for locations far away from the server...
You might want to try "&ajax=1" added to your request to skip generation of some headers and sidebar.
Maybe it helps Smile

Good luck

The "&ajax=1" didn't drastically reduce the time, although I'm now averaging at around 1.9 secs.
Anyways, will try something else. I'm inside a proxy network, so that's not helping either.
Thanks for the quick reply Smile

I'm stuck. I've read the thread and it seems my way should have been working. I'm using curl in php
I've set:

GeSHi`ed Plaintext code

 
$setcookie = 'WC=<cookie value from my browser>; domain=.wechall.net; path=/';
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_COOKIE, $setcookie);

and it's still telling me "Please login by sending your cookies in the HTTP Header"

I've added

GeSHi`ed Plaintext code

 
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 1);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_STDERR, $f);

and I can see in the file created:
Host: www.wechall.net
Accept: */*
Cookie: WC=<my cookie value>; domain=.wechall.net; path=/

but still no joy.

in this thread there was mentioning of PHPSESSID, however it's not set in my browser cookie, is it needed or was changed to WC?
am I missing something? Is the challenge working?
