Name2Key - vwrsearch workaround

[MartinRJ Fayray]

Vwrsearch (a wide-spread workaround for Name2Key scripts, using the official Second Life database) has been broken for almost 2 weeks.

I just helped someone creating a workaround, and decided to share it here.

EDIT Please use the version here: http://pastebin.com/ABhtrnJH because the forum-software automatically shortens the url of my code-example, if you like to copy-paste the code.

string sUrl = "http://anonymouse.org/cgi-bin/anon-www.cgi/http://search.secondlife.com/client_search.php?s=people&session=00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000&mat=7&q=";
string sSearchString = "http://world.secondlife.com/resident/";
integer iKeyLength = 36;
string sMessage = "Please say the name in chat!";
string sMessageSearching = "Searching for: ";
string sMessageResult = "Result: ";
float fTime = 20;
integer iListen;
default
{
    touch_start(integer total_number)
    {
        llSetTimerEvent(fTime);
        iListen = llListen(PUBLIC_CHANNEL, "", llDetectedKey(0), "");
        llSay(PUBLIC_CHANNEL, sMessage);
    }
    timer()
    {
        llListenRemove(iListen);
        llSetTimerEvent(0);
    }
    listen(integer channel, string name, key id, string message)
    {
        if(llToLower(llGetSubString(message,-8,-1)) == "resident")
        {
            message = llGetSubString(message,0,-9);
        }
        llListenRemove(iListen);
        llSay(PUBLIC_CHANNEL, sMessageSearching + message);
        llSetTimerEvent(0);
        llHTTPRequest(sUrl + llEscapeURL(message), [HTTP_BODY_MAXLENGTH,16384], "");
    }
    http_response(key request_id, integer status, list metadata, string body)
    {
        string sResultKey = "";
        integer iResultPos = llSubStringIndex(body, sSearchString);
        if (iResultPos != -1)
        {
            iResultPos = iResultPos + llStringLength(sSearchString);
            sResultKey = llGetSubString(body, iResultPos, iResultPos + iKeyLength-1);
        }
        llSay(PUBLIC_CHANNEL, sMessageResult + sResultKey);
    }
}

 

 I hope this helps:)

Please be aware that this method won't work if the resident chose to hide their profile from search!

[Dahlia Orfan]

That does not seem to work. The problem is the limit of body in http_response(key request_id, integer status, list metadata, string body) : 1024 or 2048 characters maximum. The information you want is beyond this limit; add llOwnerSay(body) just after http_response() to understand what i mean. That won't work either from outside SL for example in a google application because the google application will only have access to the contents rated "General". And some avatars have their profile rated Mature or even Adult.

[MartinRJ Fayray]

@Dahlia:

the llOwnerSay() function truncates the chat message at 1024 characters, the chat output doesn't reflect what gets sent to the http_response. The body of the http_response is truncated at 2048 characters, which is sufficient.

 

Also note that I set the maturity rating to mat=7, which means ALL results: http://anonymouse.org/cgi-bin/anon-www.cgi/http://search.secondlife.com/client_search.php?s=people&session=00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000

&mat=7&q=

Give it a try:)

 

I've successfully tested it numerous times.

if the name is input as " something Resident" it fails to find the key, so add this to the listen.

listen(integer channel, string name, key id, string message)
{
if(llToLower(llGetSubString(message,-8,-1)) == "resident")
{
message = llGetSubString(message,0,-9);
}
llListenRemove(iListen);

[MartinRJ Fayray]

Great idea!

Tyvm, Taff : ))

[Dahlia Orfan]

There was a typo in the script. Yes it works but sometimes it is beyond 2048 characters unfortunately, there is a kind of advertising first. So your script returns the empty chain.

[MartinRJ Fayray]

I am pretty sure that you're not hitting the limit, but instead you are looking up profiles of residents who hide their info from search.

You will not be able to find someone who chooses to hide their profile from search, with this script.

Can you show me an example where it fails?

[Dahlia Orfan]

I get the empty strings for these avatars : Tulipe Naidoo, Rhys Goode

[MartinRJ Fayray]

Better use another proxy, it seems that anonymouse.org sometimes displays ads, just like you said, or use an off-world PHP script/relay.

 

I get a result when I search for these avatars directly, so they didn't hide their profiles from search.

[Dahlia Orfan]

Try http://search.secondlife.com/client_search.php?s=people&session=00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000&mat=7&q=rhys%20goode

The advertisings are still there. Moreover, several answers are given, all avatars containing of course "Rhys". But there are possible workarounds.

[MartinRJ Fayray]

The searched person is always the first result, btw, if the name was correct (and the person doesn't hide their profile from search).

[MartinRJ Fayray]

You can change the default max bodylength of the http-request (see also https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/HTTP_BODY_MAXLENGTH ).

This works, even with the advertisings on that page:

Thanks for the tip ; I did not know that the limit could be changed. That works very well now.

[MartinRJ Fayray]

Welcome : )

[Dahlia Orfan]

A warning for people who would like to use it : because of the displaynames, sometimes the first choice is not the good one. The scripts must be slightly modified.

[Innula Zenovka]

Hmm.  I tried it for my own name,  and the names of some friends, and it just kept saying "Result" and nothing more.

So I put in llOwnerSay(body) to see what was being returned and got:

[10:58] Object: Please say the name in chat![10:58] Innula Zenovka: Innula Zenovka[10:58] Object: Searching for: Innula Zenovka[10:58] Object: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"><html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /><title>Second Life Search [Anonymoused]</title><link rel="stylesheet" href="http://anonymouse.org/cgi-bin/anon-www.cgi/http://wac.4C00.edgecastcdn.net/804C00/slsearch/slsearch/1.2.265672/css/client.css" type="text/css" media="screen, projection" /></head><body id="search-home"><div class="search-blurb"><h1>Search Second Life</h1>         <p>The <strong>All tab</strong> searches Second Life for people, places, groups, or items for sale.

[MartinRJ Fayray]

Hello,

this is (I explained that earlier in this thread) because the max-body-length is set to 2048 by default, so sometimes when LL posts advertisements on the results page, the result is not received, because it's not in the first 2048 bytes of the page.

Therefore I updated my example yesterday, to allow longer body-lengths.

 

Also (I also explained that earlier) the llOwnerSay output doesn't reflect what gets sent to the http_response, because output from llOwnerSay is capped at 1024 bytes.

 

Please use the updated version of the function (see my first post). I can find your key with it.

[Darkie Minotaur]

In fact, you posted faulty code - check next time  before you jump to hasty comclusions. apart from that, it would be nice to have a result that tells you what exactly went wrong.

[MartinRJ Fayray]

I don't know why you'd start assaulting me,

I didn't post faulty code, and in fact it's still the same code now as the original code, just with a view improvements due to feedback from other forum members.

Please let's try not to attack each other in the forums.

 

Btw. this was just meant as a guide for a workaround to the vwrsearch issue, not as a working program.

I think everyone who needs to program his own Name2Key script will have the resources to solve issues and glitches himself.

 

If this code offends you, I can delete it, and share it only with friends.

Thank you.

[Darkie Minotaur]

check the first line of your updated version

[Innula Zenovka]

The code I used was what I'd copy-pasted from your example about half an hour before I posted here.

[MartinRJ Fayray]

Be careful when you copy-paste code from here,

the first line (the URL) gets shortened by the forum software, I don't know a workaround for that.

Try this: http://pastebin.com/ABhtrnJH

[Innula Zenovka]

That works very well.  Thank you so much.    Sorry I didn't notice the forum software had broken the url.

it works if the avatar is public on the search.

If the avatr have hidden his profile the script pick up the KEyUUID of not correct avatar

 

example if i search my name, in the html i'll found this line:

<h3 class="result_title"><a href="http://world.secondlife.com/resident/1b9a0d96-8041-4bf5-ba52-b1dc62bd7ad1" >Hart (hart.larsson)</a></h3>

 the search string now is limited to:

string sSearchString = "http://world.secondlife.com/resident/";

 

you need to implement instead a search that pick up the first string between:

<h3 class="result_title">THE LINE TO PROCESS</h3>

 picked up the LINE you need to see if the avatar name is the avatar name you search:

Hart (hart.larsson)

 

so name.surname or name only must be there if not you need to return NULL_KEY

 

I've implemented this system in my .NET service and works.

I think you can mod your LSL script to accomplish it too

 

i've made a MOD version that support also name.surname input http://pastebin.com/MpZN7e9B 

 

I hope this help
