I think they just construct the url for the Airbnb member and fill in all the details. (Just a guess. Not on Airbnb.) The user would have to be the one to click the confirm.
For example, https://post.craigslist.org/nyc/H/sub/brk https://post.craigslist.org/nyc/H/sub/brk is the first step in creating a posting for temp place in Brooklyn. I assume they have a way of defaulting the other form values.
- zach 16y agoWow, did you see the field names on that form? They're encoded as long alphanumeric strings. Never come across that before. Looks like they're pretty feisty about people using their forms. I guess this also explains why they set no-cache and no-store pragmas on their posting pages, which caused me to lose a lengthy post when I accidentally dragged something into the browser window. Jerks.
