Redirection

Im currently trying to get a number that is written in the title of a certain website (compete.com) and write it out into a csv. When I test the extractor (peppercom.com ~@UVs@~ UVs for September 2011 | Compete) it works. I see 35 where it says ~@UVs@~ - sequence 0. But when I start the scraping session (to write the file out) instead of looking in the site (http://siteanalytics.compete.com/peppercom.com/) it automatically redirects me to http://www.compete.com/ie6/. I found that the redirected site is written below the one Im interested in. My scraping session looks in the redirected one and not the one Im interested in. Any suggestions would be more than helpful. I included the Scraping log, and the last response from the site Im interested in.

Thanks Thank you Gracias
Dan

dsalazar, It looks like

dsalazar,

It looks like they're sniffing your user agent on the server before delivering the content. They apparently don't like screen-scraper's default user agent:

Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)

You'll need to manually set your user agent to something more acceptable. Try the following as an example (this requires that you use either the Professional or Enterprise Edition of screen-scraper).

scrapeableFile.setUserAgent("Opera/9.80 (Windows NT 6.1; U; en) Presto/2.9.168 Version/11.51");

-Scott

Thanks

Thanks for your help Scott. I just upgraded to Pro but dont know how to set my user agent manually.

scrapeableFile.setUserAgent("

scrapeableFile.setUserAgent("Opera/9.80 (Windows NT 6.1; U; en) Presto/2.9.168 Version/11.51");

See the docs here.
