Completed Posted 5 years ago Paid on delivery
Completed Paid on delivery

“Emulate” a web browser in VB.NET code to pull XML data from a web server. Web browser pulls down two XML files via XMLHTTP/jQuery javascript request after authenticating in a HTML post, then there is a JavaScript code that “renders” the web frontend. I need to retrieve the XML files in VB.NET code with HTTTPwebrequest class.

A project is supplied that works to 98%, but it does NOT WORK to download the XML. When I request it in my code, it says “not authenticated” although the authentication first happens and I set the cookie. Task could takes 10 mins or several hours.

Task: Fix the code so that the XML data is downloaded in [login to view URL] and alarms.xml.

A 10 mins introduction can be provided Webex so you know exactly what to do in a short time.

What you need:

Expert understanding of HTTPS, HTTTPwebrequest, AJAX, Fiddler

Visual Studio 2017, Fiddler, ability to install OVA in Vmware (free download available).

Keywords: Fiddler, HTTTPwebrequest, AJAX.

What we provide

1.) Server: We will supply the server as 218MB OVA file that you must install first in your enviroenment. This will give you the server to develop against. Instructions will be supllied so this doesnt take more than 10 mins to install and give an IP address.

2.) VS 2017 VB.NET project is supplied that works "almost" and needs to be fixed

Deliverables:

Working code to be demonstrated in WebEx, only than any payment will be provided. If it doesn't work (like it is now), no payment will be provided at all.

Screenshot Attachments:

1.) Fiddler sequence of web browser

2.) Screenshot of code attempt
