hi!
I need to get all the HTML code from a webpage that uses credentials.
For example, I want to get all HTML source code of a webpage like this:
https://nunogoncalopereira.outsystemscloud.com/MyApplication/Webscreen1.aspx
and this applications uses credentials such as in:
https://nunogoncalopereira.outsystemscloud.com/MyApplication/Login.aspx
I made code to get HTML code, but i have a problem, because the request fails on login.
How to do that? Could be in java, .net, C# code or JavaScript.
Thanks and Best Regards,
Nuno Pereira
Is this required to be fully-automated?
That is, can the user log in first, and then save the output of the screen, or do you need to essentially 'script' the entire process of login and downloading the markup?
Hi Andrew!
I just need to get the HTML source code from a webpage or URL. Yes, the user can log in first and then extract the code.
Sorry for the delayed response.
Additional questions: What is the purpose of getting the source? Is it going to be stored somewhere?
The reason I ask is to understand what you're trying to automate by using an app, as opposed to simply right-clicking the page and selecting "View page source".
Hi Andrew !
I just wanrt to learn how to get html code programatically and maybe using to do something automated to simplify some work of people, but do you know how to do it?
thanks and best regards,
Hi Nuno Gonçalo Pereira,
You can get html code by using HTTP service get simply for pages ( with anonymous ) , but I don't think you can login and get html in OutSystems, For you to work login (maintaining session) and getting html you need complete automation framework.
Work around :
Create API which does the login process and write HTTP get inside of API, get html code convert into string and return.
Hope this helps

Yes, this is what i've tried. I have an app, and inside an action i call an extension to get HTML code, but i have the problem that the HTML request code fails in login, even after the user to be logged in.

Might be worth looking into something like Selenium, to see if that would help:

If nothing else, it might give you some additional ideas.
An additional question...do you control the site/screen from which you're trying to get the HTML?
Also, you haven't mentioned the "why". Why do you need to get the HTML? Perhaps there is another way to approach the problem that would be simpler, and get you to the same goal?
