A website has a URL http://example.com/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=FUNCTIOn_NAME. When I click the URL, it executes the ajax function.
When I put the URL in the address bar, it gives a redirect error because the URL doesn't actually take you anywhere, but it definitely still executes the ajax function.
When I use the command line bash call: firefox -new-window http://example.com/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=FUNCTIOn_NAME, it opens a empty page except for the line "Bad user...". After some digging I found that the robots.txt file has "Disalow: /wp-admin/". I am assuming this is why it isn't working in the command line. I have used wget -e robots=off URL before, but there isn't anything to download so it doesn't apply here.
What type of URL is this? (I believe it's dynamic or formula, but not sure)
I want to get the same results with the command line as when I plug the URL into the address bar. Ideas?
It's nothing special it just display a that html no matter what. HTTP servers don't have use files. It could be written in c++, java, python or nodejs(probably not).

I'm trying to write a bash script to access a journal overview page on SSRN.
I'm trying to use curl for this, which works for me on other webpages, but it returns error code: 1020 for me if I try to run the following codes:
curl https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1925128
I thought it might have to do with the question mark in the URL, but I got it to work with other pages that contained question marks.
It probably has something to do with what the page's allows to do. However, I can also access the page using R's rvest package, so I think it should work in general also using bash.
Looks like the site has blocked access via curl. Change the user agent and it should work fine i.e.
curl --user-agent 'Chrome/79' "https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papersstract_id=1925128"
I was considering using curl to retrieve a page from a url(http://bbs.byr.cn/#!board/JobInfo?p=3) but ended up getting a notice from bash like
$ curl bbs.byr.cn/#!article/JobInfo/102321
bash: !article/JobInfo/102321: event not found
this url is accessible in my browser window, how can I write a curl command line that works on this url?
In general this is not possible that stuff after the hashtag (#) is just handled by JavaScript on the client side. Curl cannot execute JavaScript. You can put that URL in quotes to get the static part of the page, but this is however surly not that what you want.
If you observe the traffic of that page in Firebug you will see that the url http://bbs.byr.cn/board/JobInfo?p=3 will be downloaded. This file you can download to get your results.
I'm working on a custom module that will describe an external table to the Views module. Inside my module folder I have the required mymodule.views.inc file. However, whenever this file is present and my custom module is enabled Drupal constantly gives Ajax HTTP Error pop ups when I use a site feature that has Ajax (any of the spinning daisies trigger this). The pop up always contains the module code in mymodule.views.inc after it says Ajax Error. The weird thing is every time I load the front page the PHP code in mymodule.views.inc is always displayed on the top of the front page.
I've seen this problem on SO and other sites a lot, but most of the time it can be traced back to an updated jquery.js file or a php.ini setting that will give scripts more time to run. So far neither of those fixes have worked. The only way I can make it go away for now is to either disable my custom module, or rename mymodule.views.inc to something else.
Here's an example of what the message looks like (not verbatim copy, since I can't copy from these alert messages in Chrome).
An AJAX HTTP error occurred.
HTTP Result Code: 200
Debugging information follows.
Path: /?q=admin/structure/views/view/viewiamtryingtocreate/preview/page/ajax
StatusText: parseerror
ResponseText: /*
* header file to my mymodule.views.inc
* file I wrote
*/
//more php code follows
//lots of unicode characters intermittently show up in my source code
\u003C\/div\u003E\n...
//source code continues with lots of unicode characters, not sure what's at the bottom because the alert box is bigger than my screen and I can't scroll on it
Does anyone else know what could be going on?
This error is caused by drupalforfirebug, disabling drupal for firebug should help. or else this patch should work.
Found it. Syntax error hiding at the top of mymodule.views.inc. There was some weird formatting before the opening PHP tag. Not sure why php --syntax-check mymodule.php didn't catch it (I copied mymodule.views.inc to mymodule.php so that I could run the syntax checker on it).
I am working on bash script in which I use Wget to supply POST data, and Wget is supposed to make POST request on specific page, and that page is supposed to return file for download.The problem is that, after making request, that page returns file after few seconds, not immediately so Wget only downloads html page, and don't wait for that file to be returned.Is there any option to make this work - make post request and wait a few seconds for a file to be returned from remote server ?
If your only problem is that you need more time you can use the sleep command.

Hope that helped!
I am trying to call the API but I keep getting a soap error that can't load the file. I found that the reason is there are about 3 blank lines at the top of the XML file that is returned. I found this by doing wget url.
This use to work just fine, when I debug through the API controller the response or xml looks fine all the way through, I don't see any spaces at all. I have no idea what might be causing this. I don't think there is anything we modified that would do this.
UPDATE:: I have found that it appears to be because of an observer class I made for the controller_action_predispatch event. It appears I have some spaces above the
I'm not completely sure of what I am talking about as far as I've never used the API, but you should try to look at the end of the file which generates your XML for a closing '?>'. If there is this closing PHP marker, remove it and try again you API call...
In Magento, PHP file should never be ended by a closing php marker '?>'.
edit: as said in comments, also look at spaces before the opening tag '<?php'.
First thing need to check is api.php file in root folder, most of api blank space issues will come if any empty lines added in api.php file before starting
