I need to navigate to new url from the current opened browser using Wating Code, Let me know if any one tried the same scenario. Also I need to get the url in the current opened browser.
using (IE browser = new IE())
{
browser.GoTo("www.google.co.uk");
string curentUrl = browser.Url;
}
If the browser is already open, you use the AttachTo static method

Is there any way to dynamically change the proxy being used by Firefox when using selenium webdriver?
Currently I have proxy support using a proxy profile but is there a way to change the proxy when the browser is alive and running?
My current code:
proxy = Proxy({
'proxyType': 'MANUAL',
'httpProxy': proxy_ip,
'ftpProxy': proxy_ip,
'sslProxy': proxy_ip,
'noProxy': '' # set this value as desired
})
browser = webdriver.Firefox(proxy=proxy)
Thanks in advance.
This is a slightly old question.
But it is actually possible to change the proxies dynamically thru a "hacky way"
I am going to use Selenium JS with Firefox but you can follow thru in the language you want.
Step 1: Visiting "about:config"
driver.get("about:config");
Step 2 : Run script that changes proxy
var setupScript=`var prefs = Components.classes["#mozilla.org/preferences-service;1"]
.getService(Components.interfaces.nsIPrefBranch);
prefs.setIntPref("network.proxy.type", 1);
prefs.setCharPref("network.proxy.http", "${proxyUsed.host}");
prefs.setIntPref("network.proxy.http_port", "${proxyUsed.port}");
prefs.setCharPref("network.proxy.ssl", "${proxyUsed.host}");
prefs.setIntPref("network.proxy.ssl_port", "${proxyUsed.port}");
prefs.setCharPref("network.proxy.ftp", "${proxyUsed.host}");
prefs.setIntPref("network.proxy.ftp_port", "${proxyUsed.port}");
`;
//running script below
driver.executeScript(setupScript);
//sleep for 1 sec
driver.sleep(1000);
Where use ${abcd} is where you put your variables, in the above example I am using ES6 which handles concatenation as shown, you can use other concatenation methods of your choice , depending on your language.
Step 3: : Visit your site
driver.get("http://whatismyip.com");
Explanation:the above code takes advantage of Firefox's API to change the preferences using JavaScript code.
As far as I know there are only two ways to change the proxy setting, one via a profile (which you are using) and the other using the capabilities of a driver when you instantiate it as per here. Sadly neither of these methods do what you want as they both happen before as you create your driver.
I have to ask, why is it you want to change your proxy settings? The only solution I can easily think of is to point firefox to a proxy that you can change at runtime. I am not sure but that might be possible with browsermob-proxy.
One possible solution is to close the webdriver instance and create it again after each operation by passing a new configuration in the browser profile
Have a try selenium-wire, It can even override header field
from seleniumwire import webdriver
options = {
'proxy': {
"http": "http://" + IP_PORT,
"https": "http://" + IP_PORT,
'custom_authorization':AUTH
},
'connection_keep_alive': True,
'connection_timeout': 30,
'verify_ssl': False
}
# Create a new instance of the Firefox driver
driver = webdriver.Firefox(seleniumwire_options=options)
driver.header_overrides = {
'Proxy-Authorization': AUTH
}
# Go to the Google home page
driver.get("http://whatismyip.com")
driver.close()
Hi There best collegue,
Currently im busy with developing a bookmarker extension for safari and running up against a problem. How can i acces the current tab url in the popover?
Tnx in advance:)
The popover doesn't have access to safari.application so can't get the current URL directly, but it can call functions in the global page which can.
In your global page:
function currentUrl() {
return safari.application.activeBrowserWindow.activeTab.url;
}
Then in the popover:
alert(safari.extension.globalPage.contentWindow.currentUrl());
Ensure that the Access Level is set to 'All' in the Extension builder and secure pages are included otherwise the URL will sometimes be undefined.
I'm trying to capture and handle every single request a web page, or a plugin in it is about to make.
For example, if you open the console, and enable Net logging, when a HTTP request is about to be sent, console shows it there.
I want to capture every link and call my function even when a video is loaded by flash player (which is logged in console also, if it is http).
Can anyone guide me what I should do, or where I should get started?
Edit: I want to be able to cancel the request and handle it my way if needed.
You can use the Jetpack SDK to get most of what you need, I believe. If you register to system events and listen for http-on-modify-request, you can use the nsIHttpChannel methods to modify the response and request
let { Ci } = require('chrome');
let { on } = require('sdk/system/events');
let { newURI } = require('sdk/url/utils');
on('http-on-modify-request', function ({subject, type, data}) {
if (/google/.test(subject.URI.spec)) {
subject.QueryInterface(Ci.nsIHttpChannel);
subject.redirectTo(newURI('http://mozilla.org'));
}
});
Additional info, "Intercepting Page Loads"
non sdk version and with much much more control and detail:
this allows you too look at the flags so you can only watch LOAD_DOCUMENT_URI which is frames and main window. main window is always LOAD_INITIAL_DOCUMENT_URI
https://github.com/Noitidart/demo-on-http-examine
https://github.com/Noitidart/demo-nsITraceableChannel - in this one you can see the source before it is parsed by the browser
in these examples you see how to get the contentWindow and browserWindow from the subject as well, you can apply this to sdk example, just use the "subject"
also i prefer to use http-on-examine-response, even in sdk version. because otherwise you will see all the pages it redirects FROM, not the final redirect TO. say a url blah.com redirects you to blah.com/1 and then blah.com/2
only blah.com/2 has a document, so on modify you see blah.com and blah.com/1, they will have flags LOAD_REPLACE, typically they redirect right away so the document never shows, if it is a timed redirect you will see the document and will also see LOAD_INITIAL_DOCUMENT_URI flag, im guessing i havent experienced it myself
I'd like to extend my WatiN automated tests to drive a page that guards against the user accidentally leaving the page without saving changes.
The page uses the "beforeunload" technique to seek confirmation from the user:
$(window).bind('beforeunload', function (event) {
if (confirmationRequired) {
return "Sure??";
}
});
My WatIn test is driving the page using IE. I cannot find a way to get WatIn to attach to the popup dialog so I can control it from my test.
All the following have failed (where the hard-coded strings refer to strings that I can see on the popup):
Browser.AttachTo<IE>(Find.ByTitle("Windows Internet Explorer");
browser.HtmlDialog(Find.FindByTitle("Windows Internet Explorer));
browser.HtmlDialog(Find.FindByTitle("Are you sure you want to leave this page?));
browser.HtmlDialog(Find.FindFirst());
Thanks!
You'll need to create and add the dialog handler.
Example Go to example site, click link, click leave page on confirmation dialog:
IE browser = new IE();
browser.GoTo("http://samples.msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/samples/author/dhtml/refs/onbeforeunload.htm");
WatiN.Core.DialogHandlers.ReturnDialogHandlerIe9 myHandler = new WatiN.Core.DialogHandlers.ReturnDialogHandlerIe9();
browser.AddDialogHandler(myHandler);
browser.Link(Find.ByUrl("http://www.microsoft.com")).ClickNoWait();
myHandler.WaitUntilExists();
myHandler.OKButton.Click();
browser.RemoveDialogHandler(myHandler);
The above is working on WatiN2.1, IE9, Win7. If using IE8 or before, you will likely need to use the ReturnDialogHandler object instead of the Ie9 specific handler
HI, is possible to add request headers in WP7 WebBrowser control?
There is no way to do this. If you need to change headers you'll need to use HttpWebRequest.
You could intercept the requests from the WebBrowser control and make them yourself via HWR but this could get complicated very quickly.
No - I don't think there's any API hook available for this.
It's a similar problem to the "change the user agent" request discussed in Bring back mobile version of website in WebBrowser control for wp7?
Sorry to necro but the answers here are wrong. Headers can be added to a WebBrowser through the Navigate method.
WebBrowser.Navigate(YourURI, null, YourCustomHeaderString)
See this page: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsphone/develop/ff626636(v=vs.105).aspx
.
These headers will only apply to the first page navigated to through your code. If you want the headers to stay the same even when users click a link inside the web browser control, add this for the WebBrowser's navigating event:
private void browser_Navigating(object sender, NavigatingEventArgs e)
{
string url = e.Uri.ToString();
if(!url.Contains("YESHEADERS"))
{
e.Cancel = true;
string newUrl;
if(url.Contains("?"))
{
newUrl = url + "&YESHEADERS";
}
else
{
newUrl = url + "?YESHEADERS";
}
browser.Navigate(newUrl, null, "fore:" + Variables.GetForeground() + "")
}
}
Here's what that does:
We create an indicator, YESHEADERS, that tells us whether or not we have added custom headers.
When the WebBrowser tries to Navigate, we check whether or not the URL it is navigating to, e.Uri, contains YESHEADERS.
If it does, we've already added our headers. Take no action
If it does not, cancel the current navigation. Create a new URL equal to the old URL plus our indicator. We add YESHEADERS on to the new URL in it's query string. If you are not familiar with query strings that is fine, just know that they are extra strings on the URL that have no effect in our case. About Query Strings
Then, we navigate to the new URL, and add our custom headers.
In short, if we have our indicator YESHEADERS the web browser knows that we've added our custom headers, if we don't have YESHEADERS, than the web browser needs to add the headers.
