Simple script that allows you to rehost images to imgur (a popular image service)
Useful for places that don't allow hotlinking

Usage:

When loaded in a bot: !imgur <link>
When loaded in your client: /imgur <link>

on *:TEXT:!imgur*:#: { $imgur($2,#) }



alias imgur {

  set %imgurpic $1

  if $sock(imgur) { sockclose(imgur) }

  sockopen  imgur imgur.com 80

  sockmark imgur $iif($2,/msg $2,/echo -a)

}

on *:SOCKOPEN:imgur: {

  sockwrite -n $sockname GET /upload?url= $+ %imgurpic HTTP/1.1

  sockwrite -n $sockname Host: imgur.com

  sockwrite -n $sockname Connection: close

  sockwrite -n $sockname $crlf 

}



on *:SOCKREAD:imgur: {

  var %imgurtemp | sockread %imgurtemp

  if (location isin %imgurtemp) { $sock(imgur).mark $iif(?err isin %imgurtemp, Sorry but that isn't a valid image link. Alternatively $+ $chr(44) you broke it.,Imgur Link: $gettok(%imgurtemp,2-,58) $+ .jpg) | unset %imgur* }

}

imgur has their own API at your disposal. You should check it out. It makes writing a socket a lot easier. An API key may need to be requested if there isn't one posted at their API description page.

You'll have to create a POST socket and, using binvars, send the image bytes. In this manner, the socket will see it as an image. I think there are several examples laying around Hawkee, I'll try to find one and post back before anyone beats me to it :p

Edit: http://www.hawkee.com/snippet/4948/ looks like a good one

@Jethro, you're right on both accounts, idk why i've always used the -n switch with sockopen, and the sockclose incident was just a typo

@ alabama It currently doesn't support that, i'll look into it tho

How to upload with a filename?

There is no such identifier as: $sockclose()

It's supposed to be:

		Code 			
if $sock(imgur) { sockclose $v1 }	

I'm not aware of the -n switch for the sockopen command. I don't believe there is one but the -d and -e switch.
