**Brief Summary** Looking for a desktop application to read a specific website recursively on an interval. It must be able to understand this information and notify the user when it matches an user-defined criteria. You will need an understanding of raw HTTP requests. The website in question is [login to view URL], and the page in question is the **Tournament Selector**. Try going to the site, and clicking **Tournament Selector** and clicking **Search**. You will see a bunch of tournament results, each with a fish/shark rating. Note that the URL does not change when you click **Tournament Selector**. The site operates using javascript and will not function without it. I would recommend packet-sniffing and tracking what is sent to the server, then repeating the same request using raw TCP sockets. If you are not familiar with this concept, ***please** **do not bid***. The application **must be written** in either **C++ or C#** and operate on Windows Vista and Windows 7. Skills required: 1. Understanding of raw HTTP sockets. 2. How to minimize a program to the system tray. 3. Parsing HTML data (to a minimal extent) 4. Timer function execution. 5. System tray pop-up balloons. 6. Copying contents to clipboard. ## Deliverables The website in question is [login to view URL], and the page in question is the "Tournament Selector". Try going to the site, and clicking Tournament Selector and clicking Search. You will see a bunch of tournament results, each with a fish/shark rating. Note that the URL does not change when you click Tournament Selector. The site operates using javascript and will not function without it. I would recommend packet-sniffing and tracking what is sent to the server, then repeating the same request using raw TCP sockets. If you are not familiar with this concept, ***please** **do not bid***. The program will be required to parse this data. An example of a request I want to be able to tell the program to notify me when there are tournaments: - at least $5 - have 'Holdem' in the Game name - do not have the turbo flag - are at least 50% full (players) - with a fish rating of at least 3 - on Network FullTilt or PokerStars All these items must be user-definable. It should be able to query the server every #(variable) seconds. The amount of seconds should be either stored in an user-editable configuration file, or changeable within the program itself. **(Whichever is more convenient for the programmer.)** The program must then notify me using a system tray pop-up, (preferably a balloon). Here is an example: [login to view URL] An example pop-up: FullTilt ID 15472686 $5 NL Holdem 17/27 3-Fish The program should also copy the tournament ID (15472686) that matched the criteria the the clipboard. The program must minimize to the system tray. ** If you are bidding,** please let me know what you have gathered about how to gather data from sharkscope, so I know you are actually capable of completing this project. (To avoid wasting your time and my time.) Thank you for your time!
