[Python] POST Error

[Ghosts]

Been running into an issue with a script I'm working on, can't seem to figure it out. It should be accepting items, but it doesn't look like the POST request is actually doing anything.

itemnames = []
postdata = {}

html = acc.get("http://www.neopets.com/items/transfer_list.phtml")

startpos = 0
while html.find("'><br><b>", startpos) != -1:
    pos1 = html.find("'><br><b>", startpos) + 9
    pos2 = html.find("<", pos1) - 1
    pos3 = html.find("input type='radio' name='", pos2) + 25
    pos4 = html.find("'", pos3)
    startpos = pos4
    
    itemid = urllib.quote_plus(html[pos3:pos4])
    postdata[itemid] = "accept"
    itemnames.append(html[pos1:pos2])
    
html = acc.post("http://www.neopets.com/items/transfer_list.phtml", postdata)

Printout of what the postdata looks like upon submitting:

{'itemgiven%5B14154130660334%2C191782743%2Crzerox%2Cdylamn%5D': 'accept'}

Do you have the right referer being sent?

Do you have the right referer being sent?

I should, I have tried both of these, though I'd assume either would work.

(you need an account to see links)

I'm posting to 'http://www.neopets.com/items/transfer_list.phtml' as well, since that's what the form action is set as.

<form name='transfer_form' action='/items/transfer_list.phtml' method='post'>

Is there an error? Try sending the Referrer field

No error, just doesn't do anything. I've tried that too.

Try posting to (you need an account to see links) so you can see what the HTTP request looks like.

Edit: not sure why it's showing a space in the formdata, that doesn't show up in the shell.

The space is vBulletin. It's not your code (if you edit your post, your code will not have a space)

Not sure why its failing tbh an u send me a account with gifts on? Everything looks like its working but for some reason its just not processing , probably something small. If you dont wanna do that , try charles proxy and set your browsers proxy to localhost:8888 then do the same in ur script and compare the request.
