It looks like ebay have finally killed the legacy route. I managed to get round the 783 bug (which I raised) by rolling back to 2.35.0, as suggested by John Cuzzourt. That, and checking out the legacy version now both fail looking for a captcha URL.

Hi Michael, as we are in different locations and have different ISPs, it must be due to variations in route. By default the DNS for my Rpis is the hardwired one in the router, which is supplied by Virgin Media. I can, however, change the DNS for a Rpi to Google's public DNS servers by adding the line: static domain_name_servers=8.8.4.4 8.8.8.8 I wonder if this might make your version of rolled back esniper work again?

Hi Michael, yes I still have 32.5.0 working on two Rpi zero w machine, set up as my post of 6 days ago describes. I'm fairly sure that I could start from scratch with a Raspbian busterlite downloaded and put on to a spare Rpi zero that I have. If that would be of any help I can do that and document every step that I take. When I rolled back to 32.5.0, the only way I could do it was to git clone the tip. then do the git checkout 69675c to roll it back. I don't know if there is a quicker way. Let me...

I have it still working on the code rolled back to 2.35.0 On my Raspberry Pi (Buster lite) I did: 1)git cloned the tip into a new directory 2)git checkout 69675c to roll it back 3)Did the aclocal, autoconf, . /configure stuff 4)make, sudo make install esniper -v shows: esniper version 2.35.0

Michael, Even in java with a GUI connection, I would struggle to get the cookies. I think the Async task with its associated callback would cause the most difficulty, especially on my always-on headless Raspberry Pi Zero W, accessed via ssh. I have what, for me might be a possible route, using my junk laptop running Ubuntu and firefox in collaboration with the RPi. I see that from first use the DG cookies have an expiry date of about a month in the future. I can find the value of all those DG cookies...
