Hey all,
I'm positive that I am loading the challenge with the required credentials, still it gives me
'
http://whitehouse.gov/' is incorrect.
as an error message. Am I missing anything from the challenge description? Any hint would be most welcome :)
Thanks and a special 'thumbs up' to the maintainers of this site!

I think you don't want the terminal slash to be there, try another tool

Thanks a lot, that was exactly it. I thought the slash had been added server side, but it worked fine with that command line tool
Only thing I had to achieve first was to export the cookies from the Firefox DB so I could reuse them...

I think I can say that you should look out for an HTTP field that tells the server about where you are coming from. Then you have to figure out a way to modify it.

Sure. You can use PHP, Python, Java, etc or even wget.

Hi there! I'm a little bit lost too. I'm trying to submit the answer through wget like i did many times before. But I always get
'' is incorrect
Even if I submit the answer through the site a get something like
Like i've submit all that answer
So, can you tell me at least if this is normal or give me any tip?

mukanga: In this particular challenge the server does not look for the answer in the query string part of the URL but somewhere else. Finding out where is the challenge here...

-_- I actually went to whitehouse.gov, modified the HTML, and submitted to
http://www.hacker.org/challenge/chal.php?id=38 from it. It returns: "'
http://whitehouse.gov/' is incorrect"

This challenge is not so much about what you submit but from _where_ you do it... unless you have physical access to the White House you will need other ways to hack this one
