shawn Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 Is anyone else having Adobe website issues recently? Regardless of what UA I use in Ketarin I'm getting a standard form response with just the page structure. This is happening on the Flash About page, Flash FPDist page, Adobe Reader and DC. The same URLs load correctly outside of Ketarin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
necrox Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 Same here for the Flash About page. The reason the Flash About page does not work is the following line: The source code ends at this point in Ketarin. Same happens if you try to 'select all/copy/paste' the source out of Mozilla Firefox into a text file. And no problems with FP Distribution3 page, all my of Shockwave versions, and my Adobe Reader version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawn Posted November 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 I've worked around the problem in my external downloader, but it's still not letting me obtain versions from within Ketarin. Flo -- can we get Ketarin to discard NUL in HTML? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawn Posted November 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 I'm not consistently seeing the NUL's on Reader and FP Dist -- but in Flash it's every single time. This is quite frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floele Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 Not sure, can you give me an example link or app? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawn Posted November 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 Adobe removed the nulls from their site and things have been working reliably for a week or so. The issue was that when Ketarin downloaded the http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ page it was only seeing about 30% of the content in the 'content' section of the Ketarin variable window. Everything below a malformed section of their site (where about 200 NUL characters were inserted into the output) was not visible. I'm afraid I didn't keep any copies of the original page. However, I'd still like the ability to bypass this issue if possible. If you can strip the NUL characters out of HTML content that's being parsed for variable values, that would ensure that Ketarin isn't easily defeated by webmasters that don't want automation to be used against their sites. At this point, all they have to do is add a few NUL characters right below the BODY tag and it'll prevent Ketarin from being able to see anything beyond that. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floele Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 Wouldn't most browsers have issues with this as well? A NULL character shouldn't occur in textual content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
necrox Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 Firefox works fine even with the NUL line inside. The following source code is copied from Ketarin... and this one from Mozilla Firefox: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawn Posted November 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 What's the URL for the Firefox page you're scalping? Is the information you're collecting above or below the line of NULs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
necrox Posted November 23, 2015 Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 The URL is the same as yours: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ and the information I need is below the NULs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawn Posted November 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 I'm not getting NULs on flash/about anymore (not for over a week). What's the page for Firefox where you're seeing them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
necrox Posted November 23, 2015 Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 Sorry for this misunderstanding. The screenshot was made a week ago and I posted it in response to floeles question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawn Posted November 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 Oh, I see. It's FROM Firefox, not a Firefox distribution page. Whew. Are you still seeing NULs today? I'm not, even in Firefox 42. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
necrox Posted November 23, 2015 Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 Nope, no more NULs so far . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
