RE: Unfair ;) DotMOO conquest

[David Harris]

I recommend against using this script. If ten people run at the same time they
could easily trash the moo.tucows.com server.

First of all, this script makes one request for each domain registered instead
of doing bulk transfers. This creates more load than you really need. Then,
this script immediately starts a new registration when the previous
registration completes without giving the server a chance to catch its breath.
You should pause between requests. Think of the offline processing that may be
required once the orders are "entered" to complete them, such as sending
e-mail.

If you want to use this, at a minimum add a "sleep 2" or something.

I can see the moo.tucows.com performance go up and down over time. It's funny.

ok here is my "script" if you need it so much :)))
just replace some of the =a, b, c, d and 1s with what you need.

#!/usr/bin/perl
open F,$ARGV[0];
while (<F>) {
  chomp;
  $r = 'http://moo.tucows.com/moo-bin/moo_reg.cgi?affiliate_id=&;
reg_username=a&reg_password=b&reg_domain=c.moo&reg_type=new&
bulk_order=0&period=1&domain='.$_.'.moo&owner_first_name=d&
owner_last_name=d&owner_org_name=d&owner_address1=d&
owner_address2=&owner_address3=&owner_city=d&owner_state=d&
owner_postal_code=1&owner_country=US&owner_email=d&
owner_phone=1&owner_fax=&billing_first_name=d&billing_last_name=d&
billing_org_name=d&billing_address1=d&billing_address2=&
billing_address3=&billing_city=d&billing_state=d&billing_postal_code=1&
billing_country=US&billing_email=d&billing_phone=1&billing_fax=&
p_cc_num=&p_cc_type=&p_cc_exp_mon=&p_cc_exp_yr=&action=register';
  `wget '$r' -q -O -`;
}
close F;

needs as an argument the name of the file containing the list of words.
6 lines of code. nah nah. :)
wget is something which is comming with redhat, if you don't have it
find it on the web somewhere.
