Needs to submit via some means other than email

[Matt Zimmerman]

Postfix is by default not configured for Internet mail, and there are hairy
issues there such as whether a relay is required. It would be simpler for
popularity-contest to do an HTTP POST or similar instead.

Talk with James and find out where we can host a tiny CGI for this purpose

[Thom May (thombot)]

OK, I have this implemented. Needs setup and testing.

  * Use http to do the submission, add the receiving cgi. (Warty #1567)

DNS is set up, doing the server changes now.
Permission to upload once that's done?

[Matt Zimmerman (mdz)]

Mind attaching the patch so it can get a bit of review?

python submit script

[Thom May (thombot)]

I've changed the crontab to just use this script.

[Matt Zimmerman (mdz)]

Looks good, upload away.

(and curse python for not supporting multipart HTTP POST...)

[Matt Zimmerman (mdz)]

When uploading this, don't forget to suppress error output when it runs from
cron. Users shouldn't get mail every week if they don't happen to stay
connected all the time

[Thom May (thombot)]

Cursed, suppressed, uploaded.
