Question
I recently finished my C++ programming class, and I'll start school in september. There is a limited online Parking spot registration and it always gets filled very quickly.
I would like to create a code that will quickly access the page and register for me.
The question is, how is this feasible? I guess I could use python, or Javascript, but I have no idea how to go on from my C++ class. What should I learn/do to program this code?
EDIT: I posted this question on other forums also and I've been receiving a lot of answers like this: you need to use the library ...
Sorry if I'm a noob, but I've never used library and I have trouble understanding it. Is it like #include like the library will give me access to many functions by doing #inlude?
Explanation / Answer
First step is to profile the existing behaviour. Try installing fiddler, register normally. That should show you all the traffic that is passed between you and the site.
Second step is to emulate that behaviour. All modern languages support sending HTTP requests. You might find it simpler in a higher level language like JavaScript.
