I am working on a task in which I have to download all flash objects swf and flv files running in web page. I have got no clue to find he source of .swf file, as mostly swf files comes from other servers. I want to find out some way to find the source / url of .swf currently running. Kindly suggest me some way.
I have 2 ideas in mind, but currently unsuccessful in implementing them
1. Using WebBrowser class and somehow find url of swf.
2. Using Pcap to fetch all http packets and after decoding, some how try to find url coming.
I want to download the same information which is obtained when we right click view page source in browser. I want to do this either in vb.net or perl
I need it for google image search result webpage.When that page is saved then html code is not same as view page source info.tags for images are absent. [code]...
[URL] but then with the option to provide username & password. I have managed to do this with the webbrowser, first logging in then go to webpage and get source code but this takes much longer than just getting the source code...
Is there any way to do this? I found this:
[URL]
I tried with &username=...&password=... in the URL but it didn't work
I'm building a vb project using vb 2008 and I am trying to get a specific data from the source of a webpage. I am now trying to have the vb project access the below source of the webpage [URL] and retrieve the word "Dublin" from the code from the following line: </tr><tr><td class="s7 li ou"><a href="dorf1.php?newdid=106467">Dublin</a></td>
The word "Dublin" should be stored in the string villagename1 (I will use that string several times later in the project) and it should at NO time open a IE page as to make it as invisible as possible.
was wondering about making a download program cant seem to find much on ie a download manager or something like flashget could someone point me in the right direction
I've got a form - CMCConsole It pops up a dialog form for adding a new case.If the matter number in a textbox on that dialog form matches an existing cases matter number I would like to find it in the binding source of the CMCConsole form
Private Function CheckMatter(ByVal MtrNum As String) As Boolean Dim cfIndex As Integer = CMCConsole.caseBS.Find("MatterNumber", MtrNum) Dim cfIndex2 As Integer = CMCConsole.casefileBS.Find("MatterNumber", MtrNum)
[code]....
But it appear the filter for the CASE we were just on that is set on the binding source is keeping the FIND from seeing other cases.
caseBS.Filter = "CaseId=" & e.Node.Tag.ToString
Do I have to clear the filter in order to find a matter number in some other case??
I am looking to go to a URL/URI download the resulting string as if I had opened a file and then get it out into a String variable.
I have been stuffing about with IO.Stream and Net.httpxxx but haven't managed to get the elements to line up in the right way.
I get "the given path's format is not supported" from opening the page in the standard stream, because it's not in the local file system ... that bit i understand, the bit I don't get is ... how do I achieve the equivelent of:
Public Function GetWebPageAsString(pURL As String) As String Dim lStream As IO.StreamReader = New System.IO.StreamReader(pURL) Return lStream.ReadToEnd End Function
I read the following question to download a web page whose contents is coded in UTF-8. The page is then converted into a byte array, while I'm using a String to read contents from the page.
I need to turn UTF-8 into Latin1/ANSI since that's what RichText and MessageBox seem to use (I'm getting funny characters).
Is there a more direct way to donwload a UTF-8 page and convert it into ANSI/Latin1?
Edit: When callig MessageBox, accented characters are not shown as expected:
Does any one know how to download webpages that have a nonscript tag. I have used httpwebrequest and weclient but I always get the text in the nonscript tag. The only thing that i have gotton to work is the webbrowser but I have encountered many problems.
So i am able to use the function to get a webpages source, however when i messagebox it out, its not the same as if i go to a normal browser, and go to "view source"
I know that .NET has several classes to do that, but sometimes I need to download a webpage that requires login, like a forum. I do not want users to fill in their sername/password in my application, because I know I'll get a lot of complaints about that. WinInet handles cookies automatically (if the user is logged in with Internet Explorer), but WebClient, HttpWebRequest and WebRequest don't.In my VB6 application I show a messagebox, telling the user that the webpage can't be downloaded the 'normal' way, but if they want, that the application can still download the webpage if they are logged in with IE.This is the VB6 code slightly modified. It works fine until it gets to the line:
vb.net iResult = InternetReadFile(hInternet, sBuffer, BUFFER_LEN, lReturn) I think something is wrong with the InternetReadFile declaration.
I'm looking for a way to "pick out" a url string from a webpages source. The source always has a unique identifier for the url. Here is the complete line from the webpages source where the url appears.
Been working on a Web Browser in VB 2008 Express, and so far things have been going good. I have run into a little problem though. I have a menu bar at the top of the browser as normal and one of the items selects is "View" and then under that "Page Source".
Now, i have added the following code and it works as expected but one problem. When the box opens to display the web page source it has no scroll bars, minimize or maximize buttons to manipulate the page.
Private Sub PageSourceToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles PageSourceToolStripMenuItem.Click Dim pagelSource As String = WebBrowser1.DocumentText MsgBox(Me.WebBrowser1.DocumentText) End Sub
I think the problem is that I am using "MsgBox" . Would there be a better way to do this?
Probably a simple question but I cant figure it out. I have a webbrowser control, which navigates to a URL where it logs in, then a different URL where theres some information I need. I would like to save this page as an HTML document. I can navigate to the page easily, so is there any way to tell the webbrowser to save the current page as an HTML document?
I have been wanting to make a file downloader (enter the website link, it browses files, with the Filter you give it, then has a download link for each file.) I haven't coded VB since 2006 and can't even remember the basic code.
I'm trying to Download a String from a Webpage, but in order to do that, I need to download the whole webpage. I've found it easier to use DownloadString, but I can not figure out how to process each line of the Downloaded String, as it is one whole string.
Basically I am building a webcrawler and in order to do so
I have to extract the page source of a webpage which I can do so like this:
CODE:
The above code works fine on most of the websites I have tried to extract page source from but for some reason it is failing to extract the html contents of few websites like these where the message posted by a user is nowhere to be seen? The webpage in question is this: [URL]
Is there something I have missed or is it due to forum protection etc which is preventing the vb application from extracting the whole page source?
How to get source/HTML code of the web page that is shown in WebBrowser1 when I click a button? I would like it to be written in Notepad or eventually in new form..
I am working on an app that requires searching the source code for a printer's web page for some information. I have used several methods to retrieve the source code (WebClient.DownloadString, HttpWebRequest.GetResponse) and in all cases recover only a portion of the web page. I can use View Source on the webpage and it is a 14K file, but using the VB functions I only get 5K of it. In these cases the data stops just prior to a <div class="tabBox"> tag containing data specific to the printer. I have also added code to pause the app, thinking that maybe it needed time for the page to complete before returning the code. Any ideas what I need to do to get the whole page?
i wanted to know if there was a couple lines of code you could use to open the source code of a website (like you could in notepad), into a textbox in visual basic.

But i get an error in the If atrname.Count <> atrvalue.Count Then since values did not match titles count.[code]...
Ok I was wondering how can I grab the source code from webbrowser1. The problem is that I cant find this line of code in the source code. I cant only find it if I highlight what I want and do a right click and look for the source code. I heard is was like a hidden part of the source code. How canI implement that in my program?
In a loop, I need to read a list of URLs from a text file, download the web page, and search for a bit of text using a regex.
I used the following code, with DownloadStringAsync() to avoid freezing the UI, but it triggers the error "WebClient does not support concurrent I/O operations.":
Private Sub AlertStringDownloaded(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As DownloadStringCompletedEventArgs) If e.Cancelled = False AndAlso e.Error Is Nothing Then
I'm creating an application where I want to save a webpage to a file. The webpage has a Javascript function written into it. See below
<html> <head> <title>Javascript</title>
[Code]....
There is a reason for this. I will be required to retrieve data from a Javascript API. The API can only display data on the webpage and somehow I have to retrieve it from the webpage.
I'm using Visual Studio 2008 but with .Net Framework 2.0. Haven't tried out 3.0 or 3.5.
