Thank you for linking to my post. Surprising how quickly this has spread around. Thanks to some stuff edvakf pointed out to me in the My Opera post he linked to in his comment here I decided to have another go at it. My post contains a link to an updated version. I keep the old one around for the hell of it.

This one works better than the previous one. Same with this one replace ook with your username and eek with your password. It should work better. I’m unsure about multibyte encoding problems with this version however. Considering it’s not having to be urlencoded it should be okay at least with my personal tests.

Again thanks linking to my post.

What’s with this overuse of var declarations and the uri encoding of already uri encoded html?

var username = enc(‘ook’)
var password = enc(‘eek’)

You should replace ook with your username and eek with your password.

I remember testing Dusin’s method a while ago, it had a drawback of multibyte-character garbling. (don’t know if it was fixed already)

1) there is no “opera” or “software” in the code.

2)there is a “username” and “password” but if you replace them it does not work.
