Re: [ilugd] Command Line PNR Enquiry Script
Just checked up the site erail.in and the speed is really amazing. Its all the more impressive considering the fact that they are using the official Indian Railways / IRCTC site located in India in real time and forwarding the results through a server hosted in the US. But what's the legal status in view of the notice displayed on the official site ? -- I also wonder if they (indian railways) are still concerned about someone using their URLs, why dont they place a check on referers which can be easily fetched from the requests , they have that opened obviously it is their fault, Abhi ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/

Oh ya, I have read this notice before also, And i do not think that the script do not violate any such violation, I am viewing page in the command line browser, and submitting the pnr number using some standard way in perl. Technically I am submitting and taking response in smarter way. Also i am not using this for commercial purpose. releasing this in GPLv2 is meant for sharing, just like a trick or tweak.
