(Admittedly the date parsing is not very elegant.)

yes, probably but...

        if [ "$WANT_DATE" = "yes" ]; then
-           DATE=$(echo "$HTML_TEXT" |  sed -ne 's%<li><em>Date</em>: 
\(.*\)</li>%\1%p')
+           DATE=$(echo "$HTML_TEXT" | xargs | perl -ne 'print $1 if 
m%<li><b>Date</b>: (.+) </li>%;')
        fi

how much harm can be done? I'd tend to accept this, what do others think?

Friendly ping.






Cheers,

I'm using this patch for 3.5 months, and I haven't seen any problems so far. I'd be happy if someone merged this change (so I don't have to carry my local patch :)) in order to make who-uploads useable again. `-
