Rapidshare links to SSL

[Marlo 1]

For whatever reason my ISP has blocked access to the rapidshare.com website so I can;t download anything from there which sucks as I use it a lot but I have discovered that if you use the secure HTTP protocol (HTTPS) then the links work o_0 anyway I'm far too lazy to add the extra S to the protocol for each file I download so I made this little script

Dim $sOldClip, $sNewClip, $sLink
$sOldClip = ClipGet()
While True
    $sNewClip = ClipGet()
    If $sNewClip <> $sOldClip Then
        If StringInStr($sNewClip, "rapidshare.com") Then
            $sLink = StringReplace($sNewClip, "http", "https", 1)
            ShellExecute($sLink)
        EndIf
        $sOldClip = $sNewClip
    EndIf
    sleep(50)
WEnd

It just watches your clipboard for rapidshare links and converts them to SSL before opening it.

Hope that somebody finds it useful

There are far better ways to watch the clipboard than that. Look into _ClipBoard_SetViewer and related functions. That sort of implementation might make a worthwhile example.
