Cookie defaults changed? OUCH?
Had a scrape stop working. Changed the cookie dropdown from "According to cookie spec" to "Accept all cookies" and it suddenly began working. It's happened on multiple scrapes hitting multiple sites. Neither of these scrapes changed recently, and it started to happen after our 5 to 5.5 update.
Did the default selection for that change, or did the behavior of "according to cookie spec" change?
I cannot remember what the setting was previously without reverting to an old version of screen-scraper and re-importing an old version of the file.
This impacts a ton of my scrapes. :(
Hi, Between version 5.0 and
Hi,
Between version 5.0 and 5.5 we upgraded a core internal library called HttpClient (http://hc.apache.org/httpcomponents-client-ga/) from its version 3 to 4. The library underwent some pretty extensive changes between those two versions, but, in theory, should have remained compatible between the two. It's possible that in this particular case that isn't quite true. My apologies for any trouble this might have caused.
That said, there may be a way of fixing this in a bulk fashion. If you'd like to contact us directly we could likely help with that.
