Microsoft Flow - auto post in twitter and pinterest

The task at hand - a form, when filled, creates a post at [all] social networks, this blog is about twitter and pinterest.

Part 1 - prepare the image

Twitter needs "file content" in its media field, while pinterest needs an image url open to the public.
So [1st flow] was in OneDrive folder for those uploaded images, sending back the image ID to be used in the form. Can take a few minutes, sent to mail (better to send with the image).

The twitter account will create the public url for the image.

Part 2 - the form

Most simple form, Title, Content and image id into [2nd flow] a Sharepoint list. If you're sure you're never going to use more than 255 characters you can just use the title (i dont like to extend title fields characters limit).

Part 3 - to the social media

Next [3rd flow] when the SPItem is created, I use OneDrive "Get file content" for the file content and the "Title - Content" for the text, and post a new tweet.
I then query tweets as "from:@bresleveloper" (or whatever username) in order to get my tweet data, with limit of 1.
Since twitter data takes a minute I also used "Delay Until" with "addSeconds(utcNow(), 90).

NOTICE that if you post tweets separately that this flow you must wait for at least 2 minute before and after the process.

Unlike other twitter OOTB flows, this one returns an array of tweets and not a single one (even though the query count is 1) so i used "Initialize Variable" of type "Array" for the response, and to query the image url:

first(first(variables('NewTweetsArray'))?['MediaUrls'])

That "Compose" is used as the "Image Url" in pinterest, text same as above.

Enjoy.

OverTheWire[.com] Natas Walkthrough - JUST HINT, NO SPOILERS

game portal: http://overthewire.org/wargames/natas/ PASSWORDS for each level are stored in /etc/natas_webpass/natasX I made this walkthrough for people like me, i needed some help, but didnt want the spoiler, so here i will give you all the information needed to pass each level, yet not the solution. For levels needed custom web request i made a different post for powershell and javascript  with how-to's, since is a piece of learning for itself, and also for those of us that play at work and have only powershell at their hands. Although its not a complete spoiler there, its quite most of the solution so try yourself 1st. Natas The Natas game is from basic to advances web hacking. Every few levels is about whole new exploitation (with some harder ones doing comeback later), so a lot of learning. If you're new, you're the reason i am writing so much even for the 1st level, just please google EVERY topic you see, since in the following levels i assume you know the ...

Asp.Net Ending Response options, Response.End() vs CompleteRequest()

this blog is for any1 who get the ThreadAbortException when caling Response.End(), and then tried the other options such as HttpContext.Current.ApplicationInstance.CompleteRequest() and found out that there was no replacement. i'll start with the bottom line: if you want to stop right now your response and send it as is you dont have any other option other than Response.End(), period and it's the right thing to throw that EX in that case. the answer is its because there is the "HTTP pipeline" and the "Asp.Net pipeline", and CompleteRequest() cuts the HTTP pipeline but not the Asp.Net one so everything that is from handlers forwars (including all page events) continues but your part, the asp one, stays in your hands so that no information will be lost, so ur suppose to manage your code currectly, since information lost is really a bad thing, although in most cases we use Response.End() we know what we are losing and we want it. see this short article ab...
