Detect JS Cookie

Overview

screen-scraper has always kept track of server set cookies and does that for you automatically; however, when the cookies are set by javascript screen-scraper does not catch them. This saves on the time lost having screen-scraper scrape every javascript file when most of the time there is nothing there that matters.

This mean that you have to set any javascript added cookies using the setCookie method. To help find where javascript cookies are being set we have added a Detect JS Cookies button in the proxy session progress tab.

For the button to work correctly you will want to clear your browser cookies before having the proxy session record all transactions. This makes it so that cookies already in existence are not considered to be javascript cookies.
