Question

I am using the code below but it is giving time out error. Though my IP is not blocked and i am able to check via firefox addon searchstatus. The code below i am using seems like outdated and not decent. So my question is how can i get url page rank with c# 4.0

        private const UInt32 GOOGLE_MAGIC = 0xE6359A60;

    private static void _mix(ref UInt32 a, ref UInt32 b, ref UInt32 c)
    {
        a -= b; a -= c; a ^= c >> 13;
        b -= c; b -= a; b ^= a << 8;
        c -= a; c -= b; c ^= b >> 13;
        a -= b; a -= c; a ^= c >> 12;
        b -= c; b -= a; b ^= a << 16;
        c -= a; c -= b; c ^= b >> 5;
        a -= b; a -= c; a ^= c >> 3;
        b -= c; b -= a; b ^= a << 10;
        c -= a; c -= b; c ^= b >> 15;
    }

    public static string GoogleCH(string url)
    {
        url = string.Format("info:{0}", url);

        int length = url.Length;

        UInt32 a, b;
        UInt32 c = GOOGLE_MAGIC;

        int k = 0;
        int len = length;

        a = b = 0x9E3779B9;

        while (len >= 12)
        {
            a += (UInt32)(url[k + 0] + (url[k + 1] << 8) + (url[k + 2] << 16) + (url[k + 3] << 24));
            b += (UInt32)(url[k + 4] + (url[k + 5] << 8) + (url[k + 6] << 16) + (url[k + 7] << 24));
            c += (UInt32)(url[k + 8] + (url[k + 9] << 8) + (url[k + 10] << 16) + (url[k + 11] << 24));
            _mix(ref a, ref b, ref c);

c# 4.0

notice : the problem occurs when there are special characters in the url like &

Answer 1

Just check for the host of the particular website instead of the full url

does the website url host has &?
