			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After a while if have found some time to write an <a href="http://www.uselessco.de/2009/stuff/how-to-play-iphones-imobsters-co-in-firefox">update on this article</a>.</p>
<p>Storm8 must have changed some things, because the original way in the first article does not work anymore.</p>
<p>I found another way, which follows the same principle.<br />
<span id="more-151"></span></p>
<p>You still have to grab the http-requests from the iPhone with wireshark or ngrep.<br />
You will receive something like this:</p>
<blockquote><p>http://im.storm8.com/index.php?version=1.72&#038;udid=234575309t7n5nvzg7zv5gnv34g&#038;pf=485utnv37ghg73vhgm7vm6834h5g78345hg&#038;model=iPhone&#038;sv=3.1.2</p></blockquote>
<p>You don&#8217;t have to write down or copy any of the parameters shown in this url, you just have to call it in a browser.</p>
<p>The url will change, after the game-page has been loaded. You will now see something like:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>http://im.storm8.com/home.php?appEntry=true&#038;promote=&#038;bonusCash=0&#038;formNonce=358t3897ggn3hg75h3g50v350v&#038;h=3485ugv309jh7v0gm70jh6gm03#&#038;setTab0Badge=&#038;changeApplicationBadge=0&#038;setTab4Badge=</p></blockquote>
<p>Now the cookie has been set to your browser, and you can call the game simply by attaching the h-Parameter to the basic game-url:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>http://im.storm8.com/home.php?h=3485ugv309jh7v0gm70jh6gm03#</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Thats all.</p>
<p>I wrote a little php-script, which takes the h-parameter in line 3 and also puts the main-navigation on the top of the window. Due to copyright-restrictions I will not give away the image-files included in the source-code. Search google for screenshots and get create your own navigation. <img src='http://www.uselessco.de/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Here comes the code:</p>

<div class="wp_syntax"><div class="code"><pre class="php" style="font-family:monospace;"><span style="color: #000000; font-weight: bold;">&lt;?php</span>

	&lt;/body&gt;
&lt;/html&gt;</pre></div></div>

The result of this script looks like this in the chrome-browser. Please be aware, that it will only work as long as the cookie you set with the first url is valid.</p>
<p>Have fun.</p>
<p>P.S. I just noticed that all functions with popups (as selling equipment or item-information) will not work in the browser.</p>
