The "addHTTPHeader" method is not available in this edition of screen-scraper.

I am using a licensed version of screen-scraper Professional 6.0. When running in server mode the following exception is returned.

'java.lang.Exception: The "addHTTPHeader" method is not available in this edition of screen-scraper.'

What can be done to use the functions that your documentation says are available in our purchased version of the software?

Issues with v.7 Professional and C# RemoteScrapingSession

I'm having several issues with a remote scraping session, using C Sharp and Version 7.0 (and I tried the alpha version 7.0.4a).

Received fatal alert: handshake_failure with EnableSNIExtension=false

I'm using a fresh installation (not an upgrade) of Pro 7.0 and still receive this message: An input/output error occurred while connecting to 'https://oakbankcu.mb.ca/main/index.php/rates/borrowing-rates'. The message was Received fatal alert: handshake_failure.

Is there another setting I need to look at changing?

"Received fatal alert: handshake_failure" on fairly basic SSL site

We're trying to build a pretty basic scrape for the following website:

https://www.vanlanschot.nl/kantoren

But every time we try and scrape that page, it gives the following error:

Main Page: An input/output error occurred while connecting to 'https://www.vanlanschot.nl/kantoren'. The message was Received fatal alert: handshake_failure.

We've tried messing around with various Advanced settings, to no avail. Are you able to scrape this page, and if so, what settings did you use to do so?

Syntax for csv writer

Hi

This appears basic, but I have been struggling to change the separator and quote separator in the csv writer. I have read the page about it and tried every combination I can think of.

// Create CsvWriter with timestamp
CsvWriter writer = new CsvWriter("OakesDataIn.csv", NO IDEA WHAT GOES HERE );

I would like to have a ^ separating the fields and maybe a | as the text separator?

Thanks for your help, as always

Jason
