Anyone know why this visit_url isn't really working?

I'm probably just doing something really stupid. Hopefully I don't flood this forum with dumb questions. I've been making a bunch of minor click-saving relay scripts, and the areas guarded by a 'pwd' in the URL on the Mysterious Island aren't being cooperative.

For example, trying to automatically get a molybdenum magnet using
Code: 
if (available_amount($item[molybdenum magnet]) < 1 && equippedFratFatigues()) {
	visit_url("bigisland.php?place=junkyard");
	visit_url("bigisland.php?action=junkman&pwd=");
	if (available_amount($item[molybdenum magnet]) >= 1) {
		appendText(formatText("Retrieved molybdenum magnet.", "green", 2, 0), endstr, dis);
	} else {
		appendText(formatText("Failed to retrieve molybdenum magnet.", "red", 2, 0), endstr, dis);
	}
}
doesn't work (I get the failed text every time and don't have the magnet). Neither does the lighthouse. I've tried without the = on the url as well. This especially baffles me as I looked at EoD's sofcore ascension script and he uses
Code: 
visit_url("bigisland.php?action=junkman&pwd=");
every time he wants to talk to the junkman too.

The non-pwd protected URLs on the island work fine, I can auto-get flyers easily. (Also I know I prolly don't have to put in the junkyard visit_url, I just threw it in after it wasn't working.)

Anyone have a clue? This is in bigisland.ash relay, if that matters. Caronch's dentures had a pwd field but I didn't have any problems with that script @_@

That URL loads for me in the mini browser just fine. It does seem to redirect to the same URL but with the "=" stripped from the end so you might try changing the "pwd=" to just "pwd". Are you getting any error messages or is it just not doing what you'd expect?

Yes, this matters. When you are making a relay script you need to create the entire url, password hash and all. Mafia will not autofill the password hash in that circumstance. Try...


Code: 
if (available_amount($item[molybdenum magnet]) < 1 && equippedFratFatigues()) {
	visit_url("bigisland.php?action=junkman&pwd="+my_hash());
	if (available_amount($item[molybdenum magnet]) >= 1) {
		appendText(formatText("Retrieved molybdenum magnet.", "green", 2, 0), endstr, dis);
	} else {
		appendText(formatText("Failed to retrieve molybdenum magnet.", "red", 2, 0), endstr, dis);
	}
}

Once upon a time, I nearly went insane before I figured that out.
