Returns references to the older style url in the returned html.
I also noticed it's calling that new style base64 string a "story_token" in places, and uses it in conjunction with "page_token" set to "VICE" in this case.
- wahnfrieden 4y agoThanks for digging this up! Looks like a path forward
- rvnx 4y agoNit picky but isn't this action actually illegal in some jurisdictions ? For example in France: « Obstructing or distorting the operation of an automated data processing system is punishable by five years' imprisonment and a fine of €150,000. »
- CRConrad 4y agoBut fetching data from an http server by giving it a URL is what it's for; how can that be "Obstructing or distorting" it?
- wahnfrieden 4y agomaybe! lots of reasonable anti-capitalist action is illegal. it's good to be aware but nothing to be respectful of
