Something wrong about dyndns-autologin

[kopf]

This works for me. It's most likely a problem with your username and password credentials in settings.py.

I've updated the script in 1e58ec0 to notify the user in this case, since the error message is too ambiguous.

Can you git pull the latest version and try again?

$ python autologin.py
Didn't find welcome message in response.
Something might be wrong. Log in manually.

(I checked my login/pwd manualy, it's okay, but the script doesn't work.)

Do your username or password have any unicode characters?

If so, settings.py should look like this (notice the u before the '):

USERNAME = u'ünicøde_üßername'
PASSWORD = u'påsswør∂'

[sanchomuzax]

I have not unicode characters in my log/pwd but tried with "u", and no changes.

When you go to http://account.dyn.com yourself in a browser, and login, what language is the page in?

I'm guessing that the problem is that the script doesn't find Welcome <yourusername>, as the page text isn't in English.

[sanchomuzax]

English, but hasn't "Welcome" content on the page.
See the curl https://account.dyn.com content:
http://notepad.cc/share/6kYCOKM1MF
...and after I logged in then I see English menus also, and no "Welcome" message, only "Hi {username}".

[kopf]

There isn't any "Welcome" message in http://notepad.cc/share/6kYCOKM1MF as you haven't yet logged in. This is simply the first login page. Upon logging in, there should be a "Welcome" message.

Can you pastebin the page you are redirected to once you've logged in? Having tried it manually in my browser, I don't see a "Hi {username}" message, but a "Welcome {username}" message, as expected.

[sanchomuzax]

There is the code of the logged page: http://notepad.cc/share/dhzL0OkhfM
(I replaced my username to "{my deleted username}".)

[kopf]

Hm, very weird altogether. I found it very difficult to believe at first. They must be doing some sort of A/B testing, in which case you're getting a new version of the page.

I'll write a fix now. Once it's merged, please git pull and give it a try.

Thanks for reporting this!

Logged in successfully. Thank you! :)

This is really odd. The page is otherwise identical except for the change in salutation. I tried changing the Time Zone of my account to see if it was something like UK versus US english, but I can't reproduce it. I suppose A/B testing is possible, but it certainly seems odd.

Hi sanchomuzax,

just writing here to let you know I've created a free DynDNS alternative, now that they've completely shut down their free service.

Enjoy.
