I just accidentally copypasted a wget command into the ebay search box and got the following error:
It happens with wget http://google.com
or curl http://google.com
, or any other URL...
It does seem to sanitise the input and remove slashes if you just enter a URL but not if you precede it with wget or curl. What could they possibly be doing which causes a wget or curl command to bypass their sanitization and produce a different result?
curl http://
returns results.curl http://
changes your search to justcurl http:
and give results andcurl http://g
gives me access denied.wget http://google.com
, though it got sanitized towget http: google.com
in the result (I know Data Saver works as a proxy, but I don't know why it "worked")
