    @boentoro hi, I am still not experimenting for read message from Yahoo! Messenger, but the logic is simple, login to yahoo messenger mobile edition and check for incoming new message and then you can process for further purpose.

    Bro Sony, saya sudah mencoba dan mengganti tujuan pesannya, saya upload di hosting hostgator dan berhasil muncul “your message already sent to Yahoo! ID: csstasiunpulsa”. Tetapi ym tujuan tidak pernah mendapatkan pesan yang saya kirim ini, apakah ada solusinya? Terima Kasih

  14. Sony AK says:
    April 23, 2010 at 10:17

    @handoyo yup sepertinya si Yahoo! mengubah mekanisme login untuk Yahoo! Mobile nya, ok gak masalah, saya lg benerin dengan code yang lebih baru :)

  15. Sony AK says:
    April 23, 2010 at 11:38

    @handoyo please try again, I already update with new web scraping code.

  16. Handoyo says:
    April 24, 2010 at 00:32

    Terima kasih banyak Bro Sony, sudah jalan sekarang. Oia, banyak yang curi script bro sony buat dipasang di blog-nya sendiri lho, cman bedanya, hanya penulis aslinya saja yang dapat merubah dan memperbaikinya :)

  17. Sony AK says:
    April 24, 2010 at 03:22

    @handoyo ya beginilah resikonya kalo open-content :) berkat ada laporan dari Anda saya jadi tahu kalo ada masalah di script nya, dan Alhamdulillah ada waktu juga untuk memperbaikinya :) Thanks mas.

    Halo Mas Sony,

    Saat saya coba di local, script ini jalan.
    tp saat saya coba di hosting, script ini ga jalan dan menghasilkan error ‘Empty reply from server’
    kira2 apa ya penyebabnya?

    Salam,
    Kris

    Mas, kalau script ini di jalankan secara terus menerus atau sending mesg ke lebih dari 1 atau 100 dalam selang waktu tertentu, Apakah ada potensi IP yang digunakan di Block sama yahoo?

    Regards

  27. kris says:
    June 26, 2010 at 21:39

    @harry.

    sepertinya ada kemungkinan diblock.
    saya sudah mengalami, 4 jam pertama jalan sebagaimana mestinya, setelah itu ga jalan, padahal ga ada modif codenya.
    kemungkinan diblock yahoo.

  28. Sony AK says:
    June 28, 2010 at 16:24

    @kris ya maybe Yahoo! punya policy hit rate untuk itu, jadi mending gak terlalu rakus execute script nya huehehe :)

  29. kris says:
    June 28, 2010 at 19:24

    @mas sony ga rakus kok hehehe… saya cuman pake curl buat ngirim message ke ym saya…

  30. Widyo Harsono says:
    July 13, 2010 at 04:08

    Entah apakah Yahoo mengubah tipikal loginnya lagi ya? atau seperti kejadiannya bung Kris ada hit ratenya yang memblokir, saya kirim pesan memang muncul tulisan pesan terkirim tapi kok ngak ngepek ya ke YM saya..

    Bagaimana jika saat melakukan pengiriman pesan kedua atau selanjutnya tidak perlu login lagi, tetapi langsung baca cookies terakhir yang kemudian langsung mengirim pesan. Mungkin yg diblok gara2 tiap kirim mondar mandir login lagi lagi lagi dan lagi.. itu maybe lho..

  31. Sony AK says:
    July 15, 2010 at 01:29

    @widyo yoi coba di modif ajah code nya, atau code nya kita letakkan di github or bitbucket nih biar bisa diakses rame2 :)

    Script yang sangat super mas Sony..
    Terima kasih banyak, saya sangat terbantu dengan script tsb.
    Saya gunakan untuk notifikasi perubahan status developping program.

    Sekali lagi terima kasih banyak..
