Screen scrape Bluezone terminal emulator - How to
Hi there,
I'm a newbie to Screen scraping. We have a 3270 Bluezone terminal emulator.
It uses a Win32 application to connect to the host (mainframe) using ActiveXControl/Java applet.
After establishing the connection we access various info. say reservation number .
Variable Proxy Server?
Is it possible to use a session variable to populate the Proxy Port and Host setting in a scrape? By using something like ~#PROXYHOST#~ and ~#PROXYPORT#~?
I've had luck passing username and password into the authentication settings for a scrapeable file like that, but this is at the session level.
Short of that, is there a way I can set a session's proxy by script?
How might I deal with two identical patterns?
For some reason, the database that I am scraping from occasionally generates pages with identical fields, e.g.
[color=indigo]

Problems installing on UbuntuHello, I am trying to install Screen Scraper basic on an Ubuntu Linux server edition. I found in another post where a user was directed to a development version of the program because there were issues. The setp program I downloaded was setup_ss_basic.sh. I am running the install in console mode, since I am on my server via SSH. Here is the output of the installation - looks like it fails right at the end. Sorry, but this is kinda long...

Expired CertificateWe've found one of the sites we're scraping has an expired certificate. Understanding that they need to update their certificate... (my catchphrase around the office is "I can't fix their server") 1. Is there a way to convince screen-scraper that I'm cool with the problem? :) 2. How do I explain to the business side that says "But my browser just ignores it when I tell it it's ok" and wants to know why the scrapes can't just be fiddled with to make it work? (I'm planning on just putting up a buzzword shield..) R

Proxy not working on particular siteI'm having trouble with the proxy working on a site. It works fine for any other standard site. It worked a few days ago but know it won't scrape. I've tried different ports and different browsers. In addition I tried to build it manually but can't get passed the login. I've tried what the tutorial stated on logins but to no avail. Can you help? The site is www.collegcoachesonline.com Thanks

Run scrape session from inside MS Access db via VBAHi - Could somebody give me a steer please on how to call a scraping session externally from inside Microsoft Access db using Visual Basic for Applications? I have got as far as the following:- Sub Test_remote_scraping_session() Dim objRemoteScrapingSession As RemoteScrapingSession Set objRemoteScrapingSession = ???? objRemoteScrapingSession.Initialize ("My_scraping_session") End Sub
