    "Facebook updating is still sketchy (works for me, but not for Possert). This is relying on a hack, not a published API, and so there's HTML to be parsed, which appears not always to be working 100%. I'm on it."

    "seems to have posted correctly. i'll just let you figure it out peter :) if i turn of facebook updates i don't get the error and the app runs without a hitch.

    is this something you will be integrating into the plazer? interesting idea. how about if it could pull the update from any of the sources (say jaiku), add the location data and then distribute it among the configured apps?"

    "You got the same error message from Facebook as Possert did. To be able to update Facebook relies on posing as the Facebook mobile application, which requires "logging in" to Facebook (using cURL), getting a "post_form_id" and then using that to post the presence.

    To be able to parse out the post_form_id requires some regular expression kung fu, and AppleScript has abysmal regex support, so this is more challenging than in should be."

    "Right now my AppleScript parsing looks like this:
    --
    set formstart to (offset of "post_form_id" in fromfacebook) + 21
    set formend to (offset of "/>" & facebook_firstname in fromfacebook) - 3
    set post_form_id to text (formstart) thru (formend) of fromfacebook
    --
    The PHP I started with was:
    --
    reg_match('/name="post_form_id" value="(.*)" \/>'.ucfirst($first_name).'/', $page, $form_id);
    --
    I'd welcome any suggestions as to a better approach for parsing out the post_form_id."

If Facebook ever publishes an API for updating status so that the update can happen "normally," this problem will go away."
