Problem with SSL and SS Pro
I am trying to scrap a site that uses SSL that I have a username and Password for... I setup the Proxy to use port 8777 and then setup IE to use a proxy server with port 8777 for http and https requests.
After doing this, I get multiple problems.. It tells me the certificate does not match..(it pulls the cert from screen-scraper.com) so i accept it anyway... Then it either give me an application error or it resolves back to the login page...
Any help you can provide would be great..
BTW, i have tried firefox with this as well...
Problem with SSL and SS Pro
Hi,
Whether or not a site uses JavaScript, it will eventually become an HTTP request once it gets sent to the remote server. You'll want to use screen-scraper's proxy server to capture that request, then turn it into a scrapeable file.

Problem with SSL and SS Pro
yes, i have been using firefox, for this... here is an update..
I have now been able to log in now.. but the link on the next pages uses javascript..
javascript:__doPostBack('dgProducts$_ctl2$lnkLaunchApp','')
with this function
"function __doPostBack(eventTarget, eventArgument) {
var theform;
if (window.navigator.appName.toLowerCase().indexOf("microsoft") > -1) {
theform = document.mainForm;
}
else {
theform = document.forms["mainForm"];
}
theform.__EVENTTARGET.value = eventTarget.split("$").join(":");
theform.__EVENTARGUMENT.value = eventArgument;
theform.submit();"
how do i handle this....??

Hi,
Just to verify--have you tried using Firefox? We've generally found it to work best with HTTPS sites.
Kind regards,
