Http Get Difference In Defined Function Compared To Normal Command

[ibotubot 3]

Hi all,

 

I am noticing that just a regular http get inside a function renders the page, while a http get command does not render the page in the browser.

 

What could be causing this? Obviously if the page has to be rendered in the browser there is no sense for me to use http get as it is just as slow as navigate. 

 

Thanks,

What are you using? There are a couple of plugins that use HTTP requests.

Sorry :

 

I tried both - Ayman's http plugin as well as Heopas plugin for the HTTP get

This is how you would use it, you can load the variables into the browser if you want to see the output but the point is to not use the browser so I would avoid it unless you need to show something for a reason:

set(#get,$plugin function("HTTP post.dll", "$http get", "http://www.ubotstudio.com/resources", "", "", "", ""),"Global")
set(#getScrape,$plugin function("HTTP post.dll", "$xpath parser", #get, "//a[@class=\'btn btn-primary\']", "InnerText", "HTML"),"Global")
alert(#getScrape)
set(#post,$plugin function("HTTP post.dll", "$http post", "https://httpbin.org/post", "", "", "", "", ""),"Global")
alert(#post)

Hi Nick,

 

Basically I had this working as a normal command but it just did not work all day in a define function. I just tested it again today and seems to be working now

 

define $scrape content {
    set(#page,$plugin function("HTTP post.dll", "$http get", "https://www.site.coml", "", "", "", ""),"Global")
    set(#xpath,"//*[contains(concat( \" \", @class, \" \" ), concat( \" \", \"main-content\", \" \" ))]","Global")
    set(#content,$plugin function("HeopasCustom.dll", "$Heopas Xpath Parser", #page, #xpath, "InnerText", ""),"Global")
    return(#content)
}

Thanks!
