Cancelled Paid on delivery

[first half of a two-part job]

Needed:

A demo that can be placed onto a server that will receive forwarded emails and list (scrape) any string that starts with the characters "1Z".

The app will then reply to that forwarded email with the list of scraped strings (usually just one string, but sometimes several).

Coder needs to demonstrate on coder's own server the working app, before placing on my server.

I will test by forwarding emails that I have (YahooMail and GMail).

In this first phase, it will reply back with a simple email that will say [example]:

Tracking numbers requested:

1ZA7228W0255547601

------

In a follow-up phase (RAC job) the reply will have been changed to have a link added under the (each) tracking number, such as [example]:

Tracking numbers requested:

1ZA7228W0255547601

<[url removed, login to view]>

Note: these links will eventually go to the tracking page for these tracking number.

Most of these emails and replies will involve only a single tracking number.

If none is found, then the reply should say:

"Sorry...no tracking numbers could be found in your request."

Note: If you are the successful bidder on this first phase you may choose to work on the follow-up phase too.
