It's sort of an interest of mine to question this..
I know myspace doesn't have an API. I also know that some company is doing myspace mobile as a proprietary service for cellphones in America.
I also know that Myspace uses standard http protocol, and you don't need to worry about private/public key encryption.
With this in mind, is it possible to develop a script that scrapes the contents of your myspace messages page after accepting a valid username and password?
I'm not interested in hearing whether you're a fan of myspace or not unfortunately, and this question could easily be applied to any other forms-based web application.
Does this fall under Cross Site Scripting if I'm planning to host this stuff myself?
Any thoughts?
Cheers,
Karl.
