cannot capture the data I need....
Im trying to extract data from 12bet.com. In the scrapeable file, the URL is http://www.12bet.com/UnderOver_data.aspx. The parameters have all been set up automatically. When I first look at last response, the data I want is there.
When I then run a scraping session,and look at the last response tab again, the data is not there. I just get the following.
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
X-Powered-By: ASP.NET
Content-Length: 0
Date: Mon, 20 Jul 2009 22:26:36 GMT
X-AspNet-Version: 2.0.50727

Cache-Control: private

(ive taken off the "<" and ">"'s so the above would show on the screen..
Therefore all I get back when rendering the html is "[binary data]".
So if I were to apply an extractor pattern I wouldnt get anything.
help...

You see this when the response to your HTTP request is an image, applet, or other binary data. The most likely resolution would be to ensure that your HTTP request is accurate. Aside from that, many betting sites do take measures to avoid being scraped, and this may be one of them.
