Hi Autoit Experts,

I am pretty new to AutoIt, and have this requirement, where I have to download the content of a webpage using Autoit. I have tried InetGet() but the downloaded file contains HTML of the web page without the content of the webpage.

Is there a way I can achieve this. The download format I want to get it CSV or TXT files.

Thanks upfront.

Regards,
Suan.

Suan,

Welcome to the AutoIt forum.

But please pay attention to where you post - the "Dev Chat" section where you started this thread is not for general support questions.  I have moved it for you, but would ask you to be more careful in future.

I created this simple function to retrieve any web page. You can then do whatever you want with the data after that (write it to a file, etc...). Let me know if you have any questions.

Func _HTTP_ResponseText($URL)
   $oHTTP = ObjCreate("winhttp.winhttprequest.5.1")
   $oHTTP.Open("GET", $URL)
   $oHTTP.SetRequestHeader("User-Agent", "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.10) Gecko/2009042316 Firefox/3.0.10 (.NET CLR 4.0.20506)")
   $oHTTP.Send()
   return $oHTTP.ResponseText
EndFunc

Hi A87,

Thanks for the response. The website from which I need to retrieve the info is password protected.

Is there a way that I can achieve this? I have found it for IE, but I want it for Chrome, Firefox etc.

If you could provide me this, I would be most grateful.

Thanks.

Suan

I am now able to connect it using the below code. Thanks again A87.

 

#include <INet.au3>
#include <String.au3>

$URL = "url123456"
Global $loginBody = "username=myusername&password=myapassword&autologin=on"
$source = _HTTP_ResponseText($URL)
FileWrite(@ScriptDir & "\winhttp.winhttprequest.5.1.html",$source); 
$read = FileRead(@ScriptDir & "\winhttp.winhttprequest.5.1.html") 
$readtitle = _StringBetween($read, "<head>","</head>") ;read title from file
MsgBox(0,"",$readtitle[0]) ;display first found string

Func _HTTP_ResponseText($URL)
   $oHTTP = ObjCreate("winhttp.winhttprequest.5.1")
   $oHTTP.Open("POST", $URL)
   $oHTTP.SetRequestHeader("Content-Type","application/x-www-form-urlencoded")
   MsgBox (0, "", "URL : " &$URL)
   $oHTTP.Send($loginBody)
   return $oHTTP.ResponseText
EndFunc

Using the above code, I am able to log in. But only issue is it takes me to a different url location different from url123456. Any idea how to fix this?

 

Regards,

Suan
