Well, there are multiple things that you can acomplish with this script, that's why I left it wide open, it was my own idea to deny the request, notice I didn't write any code to support my comments. So, if I can shake these miscreants who chose to complain rather than help, I will build onto this script. Well, whether or not I am still going to add to the script and include it in the lab. But, if you guys want to work on it here, we can do that too.

The thing is I do not think requesting anything will work either. The reason is how will you know? Can you intercept the status code? It isn't like you can just test for a filt buffer. So it will take some parsing I suppose. That is certainly a good idea and I will certainly look into the addition.

EDIT: sir, I am sorry for losing my cool, I know the position the leaders of this forum have on conduct, however, I do not appreciate being called a women and I certainly do not appreciate being belittled for trying to help. I meant every bit of what I said. I assure you my postings were but a mild version of how I feel about them. So, I did show restraint and that alone should be respectable.

And I do not appreciate being called a male, think twice before assuming.

This is called the "last word apology". You apologize, but while doing so, try to get in the last word, usually continuing the insults that you apologize for.

Your postings included phrases that by themselves ("Douchebag") cannot in any way be considered respectable - no matter how much of your rudeness they *didnt* contain.

The posts on both sides were immature, rude, and totally unhelpful to the original poster, and have only gotten worse. Leave the personal issues to private messages - these forums aren't the place for it.

If the mods weren't distracted by attacks against the forums, and improving them, I suspect this thread would already be locked, and multiple people would already have warnings if not bans.

Leave the personal attacks behind - and not while getting one last shot in. There is nothing acceptable about them in any way.

Fresh has missed one very important point with his script. Maybe the sort of proxy servers used by ISP use port 80 but this is just for their clients. Most proxies listen on ports like 6588 and would reject a connection on port 80.

group of users who just seem to dedicate their lives to posting needless spam
Can you be more specific. Do they spam via a program or do they sit and type the spam ? I do not know of any way to prevent typing Spam other than those you have already indicated.

Although I don't like personally like it, some pages on the web require you to enter a code which is hidden in a graphic as a login parameter. This prevents programmatical logging in. An example tutorial can be found Here.
