Depends... there are those that don't know Perl, so I see nothing wrong with it unless you are using this for profitable purposes. Remember, if it's free, how is it wrong? If you think it's wrong that it is free, then help them make it less free. Linus idea, followed by Gates idea.
I think this is a question which you can only answer for yourself. I am planning to make a web browser to end all browsers, but that's not for a few years. The idea is the browser will be configurable to block ads (in the page) and popups, with just a few user clicks. So my ethical problem is, is it right for me to make this? You can't stop the end user form changing the viewing style. Some browsers that do that do it without the users intervention. [getting off topic here] It's up to you to decide what is right and what is wrong. > -----Original Message----- > From: drieux [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Friday, June 07, 2002 1:52 PM > To: cgi cgi-list > Subject: webBotting a Job Hunt > > > > volks, > > this is probably more an ethical question > than a technical question - since over the > plays here I have become better at reverse engineering > what webServers want pushed at them in the way of URI > by get or puts.... > > but is it kosher to reverse engineer how various public > web sites do this jazz - so that i merely wind up with > a cron job that will summarize the evening search for > jobs that are out there???
