[14:23] bit.ly has switched to a new banning system since I last checked (which is quite some time ago) [14:23] They ban after a couple thousand requests, but unban you a minute later [14:24] I think I will rewrite my scraper to just pretend that it didn't notice the ban and to continue hitting them with requests [14:24] "Hey, I am making those requests anyway. If you want to stop me asking for the same code, you better return a target url this time" [17:12] i think mine dos that [17:12] "hmmm, no url? TRY AGAIN" [21:33] what are you using to get the redirect? I'm finding I might need something similar for another project, since rtmpdump apparently can't handle a 302 [22:15] Can't you just start an session yourself and get the response?
