Scrapeable File: Advanced tab
Advanced Tab (professional and enterprise editions only)
- Username and Password (professional and enterprise editions only): These two text fields are used with sites that make use of Basic, Digest, NTLM authentication.
You can generally recognize when a web site requires this type of authentication because, after requesting the page, a small box will pop up requesting a username and password.
- Tidy HTML (professional and enterprise editions only): Which tidier screen-scraper should use to tidy the HTML after requesting the file. This cleans up the HTML, which facilitates extracting data from it.
A minor performance hit is incurred, however, when tidying. In cases where performance is critical Don't Tidy HTML should be selected.
