CU Store Programming WTF, in VBScript
Saw this while trying to buy books from Cornell:
<% @LANGUAGE = "VBSCRIPT" %>
<%On Error Resume Next
ip = Request.ServerVariables("REMOTE_ADDR")
ipp = Left(ip,InStr(ip,".")+7)
‘if ipp = "128.253.193" then
‘ crseurl = "http://cbslinux1.cbs.cornell.edu/cgi-bin/rgw/RBTRN/FrameBookList"
‘else crseurl = "http://twok1.cbs.cornell.edu/rboS/tx/booklist"
crseurl = "http://twok1.cbs.cornell.edu/rboS/tx/booklist"%>
What’s funny is the classic “On Error Resume Next”, the hacky ip-address extraction that will break on ipv6, and the attempt to match on and off campus users which will probably not be 100% accurate because I believe some Cornell IPs don’t begin with 128.253.193 (commented out), and finally, the if/else which has also been commented out. It’s also in VBscript, which probably won’t work on anything non-ie…
