Good Day all

Just making quick web app,
Wanted to know if and where i can more info on getting character name from in game browser ?

from what i figure it will need to be trusted by the end user , but that's no issue ,

idea behind this is to stop out of world traffic, and restrict registration to IGB Only,

after which it could be used across the web , on computers , pads and phones

thanks,

Something to bear in mind:

All the headers from the IGB can be spoofed. Very easily, if you have a clue what you're doing. So depending on them is a very bad idea.

Anyway:

As a side note:
Apache 2.4 drops these headers due to the underscore in the name breaching the RFC. If you're using php, you may be able to get at them with the apache_request_headers() function.

Woo! CSM XI!

Thanks Steve Ronuken

its just to stop people entering someother char's name

did not really want to use api vcode's and all that , to confirm / registered name , it makes registration quite long ,

it does not have to grab any other info just char name as im not building a manager or anything that needs info from api look ups

Thanks

I'm /still/ waiting for CCP to release their SSO for third parties. Which would help a great deal with authenticating people against actual eve accounts.
