Pastebin Uploader - VmX5 - Aug 21, 2015

Okay so I saw a guy asking about this so I decided to make one myself so heres the source! (No VT because its the source)

The textbox beside the button is where the link will appear after you create your paste.

This uses Webbrowser instead of Pastebin's API

You can add categories, mode (private, public, unlisted) or time, it's all in the API.
&api_paste_format=vb&api_paste_private=0&api_paste_expire_date=1H
But thank you for sharing!

That's the point of it though I didn't want to use the API 😝 But Thanks for the feedback!

Guessed so :) Cheers i think ive managed to do it with the API but this way looks abit more efficient

Loading IE into your application is more "efficient" than sending a simple post request (Disclaimer: I've never even looked at the Pastebin API, and it may actually be a get request)....Either you are talking out of your ass because you have no idea what you are doing, or you are really stupid. Either way it doesn't bode well for you.

To prevent this post from being deleted for being off topic, let me explain why using a webbrowser is a horrible way to do this.
  • The WebBrowser Component loads the entire IE Engine into your application.*

  • The Version of IE that is used, if i recall correctly, is 7 by default.

  • You are also loading every Javascript, CSS, and Image file included in the page, along with the ads.


(*May not actually be the entire engine, but it does use the Rendering Engine and other core portions for IE)
While i have not looked at the source code (And will not bother, since it's a download, rather than a simple github / bitbucket / pastebin link), i can pretty much promise that if this application used Web Requests of some sort (HttpWebRequest, WebClient, HttpClient, or even going low level and using a TcpClient/Socket) it will be roughly ∞ times faster than using the stock standard WebBrowser component.

I could also promise that if either of you had searched the forums, you would have noticed that there are many releases that do exactly this. So while this project may have been good for practice, it is nothing revolutionary, and sadly you have gone about it in the worst possible way.

Trying to be nice about what? By saying that using an entire web browser to load a single page, to just submit a single post request which could be done through a publicly available API is more efficient than using a single web request?

And all i did was state a fact (You either don't know what you are talking about, or truly believe what you are saying, meaning that you are not the brightest person in the world), and then proceeded to explain why...I really don't see how looking at something logically like that is getting agitated? lol.

The guy clearly went out of his way to try and explain something to me that i didnt understand but by the time he had made it i had realized and studied the code here http://pastebin.com/api#2 and managed to do it in vb so i was just saying thanks for doing it

...Have you even re-read the post i originally quoted?

Here, i out lined the part that my original reply was criticizing, and you are apparently ignorant of. And incase you still do not understand, that statement implies that using a WebBrowser is "a bit more efficient" than using WebRequests and the API. See the problem? If not, don't bother replying.

What happens when you run into a captcha gate?

I made this few months ago. It uploads the text to pastebin fine but when you try to visit the pastebin url it basically asks you to fill captcha before showing the pastebin content. For Example http://pastebin.com/LqPen3sD
