(content of [].mit.edu/[])

TheUltimatum

I have a suggestion for a great new block. Here is a mockup of the block itself:

Content of block.

(content of [scratch v].mit.edu/[] :: sensing)

The way this block would work is this, It would simply return the source of the page requested.
Nothing more. Nothing less.

This block wouldn't let people spam tabs to your browser forever like this one:
forever
open scratch.mit.edu[/project/spamproject] in new tab :: control
end

If the block were hacked like this:
say (content of (join [bad] [subdomain]).mit.edu/[] :: sensing)

It would check if the input is in a whitelist. If it wasn't it would simply default to the subdomain of scratch.

If you have any ideas to add to this suggestion please tell.
If you don't support this suggestion please give a valid reason.

Lots of things

Getting stuff like how many projects you have. Saying your what I'm working on or even triggering events based on comments on a project.

In that case, I support. Thank you for the clarification. I can now think of a lot of creative ways this would be used.

Leave me alone, stupid 120-second rule. I never did anything to you.

You called it stupid. :)

Support! I'd really like to see Scratch 3.0 have more I/O capabilities… It would make it much more useful in a larger context.

The thing is though, I did that AFTER it started following me. It's creepy, trust me.

Nah, its just a coincidence. Back on topic.

When you say, “Return the source,” do you mean by returns the report as true or false? I would like some clarification.

It returns the source of the webpage requested.

Indifferent, this is a feature in Snap! but I can't see many applications, and the applications I see sound like minor details.

Can you tell me how you would make this better then?

Sigton

What would you do once you have the source? It would be an effort to parse it an so on in Scratch.

It would be useful though. It's actually quite easy to parse html. And if you are requesting from the api server you don't really need to parse any html.

I can't think of many ideas right now, but if I think of one, I'll try to remember to post it.

OK, Thanks!

don't mean no support, but what if someone does this?

forever
say (content of [scratch v] .mit.edu/[]::sensing)
end

Would it cause lag?
Yes, I read the OP

I tested it with google.com's source, DO NOT ATTEMPT, it made flash not respond and caused a lot of lag in the editor, the likes of which I've never seen before. So yes, it will.

Also, with a little ingenuity you could display innapropro images.

Umm… that's what the white list is for

I do know how you would go about doing that tho. Also the report button would be nice for stuff like that.

Welp. You aren't supposed to crash scratch anyways so I don't think that is very much of a concern as it wouldn't be allowed.
Just like this isn't:

when green flag clicked
atomicbomb::custom

define atomicbomb
atomicbomb ::custom

Oh yeah, forgot about the whitelist.
