[1.7.10] fix computercraft pastebin

On 1.7.10 computercraft pastebin seems to be broken, as the raw url was changed. This can be fixed quite easily within the computer:

Code:

copy rom/programs/http/pastebin pastebin
edit pastebin

Go to line 24 and change

Code:

"http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i="..textutils.urlEncode( paste )

to

Code:

"https://pastebin.com/raw/"..textutils.urlEncode( paste )

After that, pastebin get should work on that computer.
There may be a way to apply this server-wide.

 

Spoiler: Resource Pack Fix

This can be added to the launcher so that it is automatically fixed for everyone using the MyM launcher

Place THIS in the Minecraft installation directory's "resourcepack" subfolder and restart the game. MyM will also need to put it in place within the server's installation directory also and restart the server.

This is from the CC Forums as a fix, listed here

EDIT: Outdated it seems.

Spoiler: Easy Individual Fix

1. Open computer
2. open lua
3. paste the following and hit enter
   • Code:

     local r = http.get("https://pastebin.com/raw/jCfCfBPn"); local f = fs.open( shell.resolve( "pastebin" ), "w" ); f.write( r.readAll() ); f.close(); r.close()

4. Fixed

This is from a YouTube video, and I've used it for as long as this issue has been around.

 

This one is outdated as well. Note that it uses http and not https, so it doesn't work, though it could easily be adapted

 

Updated my post.

 

here is an updated version that i made
EDIT: pastebin put is now also fixed

 

Sorry to revive such an old thread.

There appears to be a new issue related to Pastebin, they now require a User-agent header to be included. I have patched the pastebin script to add it, and here is a new one-liner to download the new working version

Spoiler: Pastebin Script Fix 2025

1. Type lua to get to a lua interpreter
2.

Code:

local r = http.get("https://pastebin.com/raw/mihSzyQD", {["User-agent"] = "ComputerCraft HTTP API"}); local f = fs.open( shell.resolve( "pastebin" ), "w" ); f.write( r.readAll() ); f.close(); r.close(); exit()

3. Use the new pastebin script ./pastebin get <scriptID> <fileName>
