I've got some SQL data file of names/addresses that I would like to
import on a daily basis into the FedEx.com website's address book. If
you have a FedEx account (like our company does), you can manually do
an import of a CSV file.
I would like to eliminate manual intervention into this. We don't
signup for the FedEx software to run locally (which from what I
understand, they have an API to interact with).
So the only solution I can think of is to attempt to mimic a users
input by making HTTP calls to the site, but I really don't know where
to start with this, or if it's even possible.
So for example I would have to
1) go to the FedEx home page
2) enter a username/password
3) go to their shipping page
4) go to the address book tab
5) click on import
6) click on browse and set the filename, choose file type from the
drop down
7) click import now
Can I emulate this action from code? I would think I can since
everything boils down to an HTTP call, but is it practical?

I don't think it is practical....al so what if tomorrow fedex changed there
interface, then again you need to rewrite new code.
Well good luck

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
