Download, Edit and Post HTTP Request?

[daydie]

Hey guys, is have a bot at the moment which basicly uses the browser to get around things and its really slow as the process which i need doing is repetitive. i need a really quick method. Can any1 post a sample script where it

Downloads HTTP source to text file or temp text box
edits source strings as needed
post to server (submit)

thank you i would really really appreciate your help.

[daydie]

no one help me?

[thines01]

...edits source strings as needed ...post to server (submit)

What do you mean "Edits source strings"?
Do you mean you post modified HTML to a server?

...or are you saying you want to submit a form?

[daydie]

yeah post HTML which is modified back to the server.

As at the moment im using the browser and its taking ages to load and then submit.

Any help fella?

[thines01]

How are you submitting modified HTML back to the server using a browser?

[daydie]

no sorry, what i mean is im using the browser to find elements to process the macro.

it would be great if i can download, edit and post the HTML page. Can you give me a sample of any website html please ?

Dave

[thines01]

I'm not sure what to give you since I'm not really sure what you're doing.

Either you are:
1) Calling a web page to submit a populated form
or
2) Attempting to actually modify a web page

If you are attempting to fill a form and submit it, that CAN be fairly easy.

If option 2, there are a LOT of other things to consider such as FTP and permissions to write the modified HTML back to the server.

Do you have a sample web page?

[daydie]

Subit a form fella

[thines01]

I made an example using a page called the Gangster Name Generator that returns a made-up Gangster name when you put in a regular name.

If you look at the source of this page , you will see a form that has three fields
gender, firstname and secondname -- each which must have a value:
The name being called from the submit form is in a variable called "action".
If you look for the action= key, you will see the name of the URI being called.

If you piece together that URI with a question-mark and the parameters prefixed with their variable names, you can generate the result using GET or POST

Here is a clickable sample using the name Fred Johnson

To get the result, open a WebClient stream to to the page and search for the result inside of the regular expression Regex(".* '(.*)' .*")

As an alternative, you can use the HttpWebResponse if you want to change the verb to POST

Here is an example of both methods:

Imports System.IO
Imports System.Text.RegularExpressions
Imports System.Net

Module Module1
   Function GetGangsterNameG(ByVal strFirstName As String, ByVal strLastName As String, ByVal chrGender As Char) As String
      Dim strRetVal As String = ""
      Dim strUri As String =
         "http://www.quizopolis.com/gangster-name-generator.php?" &
         "gender=" & chrGender &
         "&firstname=" & strFirstName &
         "&secondname=" & strLastName
      Dim wc As New WebClient
      Dim fileWebIn As New StreamReader(wc.OpenRead(strUri))
      Dim rxGangsterName As New Regex("<b>(.* '.*' .*)</b>")
      Dim strData As String
      While Not fileWebIn.EndOfStream
         strData = fileWebIn.ReadLine()
         If (rxGangsterName.IsMatch(strData)) Then
            strRetVal = rxGangsterName.Match(strData).Groups(1).Value
         End If
      End While
      fileWebIn.Close()
      Return strRetVal
   End Function

   Function GetGangsterNameP(ByVal strFirstName As String, ByVal strLastName As String, ByVal chrGender As Char) As String
      Dim strRetVal As String = ""
      Dim strUri As String =
         "http://www.quizopolis.com/gangster-name-generator.php?" &
         "gender=" & chrGender &
         "&firstname=" & strFirstName &
         "&secondname=" & strLastName

      Dim req As HttpWebRequest = WebRequest.Create(strUri)
      req.Method = WebRequestMethods.Http.Post
      Dim fileWebIn As New StreamReader(req.GetResponse().GetResponseStream())

      Dim rxGangsterName As New Regex("<b>(.* '.*' .*)</b>")
      Dim strData As String
      While Not fileWebIn.EndOfStream
         strData = fileWebIn.ReadLine()
         If (rxGangsterName.IsMatch(strData)) Then
            strRetVal = rxGangsterName.Match(strData).Groups(1).Value
         End If
      End While
      fileWebIn.Close()
      Return strRetVal
   End Function

   '
   Sub Main()
      Console.WriteLine(GetGangsterNameG("Fred", "Johnson", "M"(0)))
      Console.WriteLine(GetGangsterNameG("Jill", "Jackson", "F"(0)))
      Console.WriteLine(GetGangsterNameP("Sam", "Sneed", "M"(0)))
      Console.WriteLine(GetGangsterNameP("Shelly", "Sharp", "F"(0)))
   End Sub
End Module

[daydie]

ah rite, i see that you are inserting variables in the URL, have you got a code that changes the HTML? or a certin value (form)

Tryd both of the codes and i couldn't see if they work or not

[thines01]

The program (CGI, php, asp, etc) behind the form is only going to accept certain variables -- the three I mentioned.

What do mean changes the HTML? -- to what?

If you have another CGI to call with different variables, you can use either technique to send variables to it.

This code writes the output to the console.
If you can't see it, you can put a breakpoint on the "End Sub" and the program will pause there. You can also step through it with F-10 and watch each line in Main execute.

[daydie]

al im wanting todo to is value of subject and message on that page to X and Post to their server so it submits it.

[thines01]

OK, use the same technique with different variable names.
The name of the item you will be calling will be inside action=""

[daydie]

I done understand what i need to edit, i see

"gender=" & chrGender &
"&firstname=" & strFirstName &
"&secondname=" & strLastName

but is this not to add onto the url? if so is this how it works on any http editing.

Console.WriteLine(GetGangsterNameG("Fred", "Johnson", "M"(0)))
Console.WriteLine(GetGangsterNameP("Sam", "Sneed", "M"(0)))
Console.WriteLine(GetGangsterNameP("Shelly", "Sharp", "F"(0)))

the above i userstand that they are the values of the 3 above, but as the above not many pages can add by php url?

Imports System.IO
Imports System.Text.RegularExpressions
Imports System.Net
 
Module Module1
   Function GetGangsterNameG(ByVal strFirstName As String, ByVal strLastName As String, ByVal chrGender As Char) As String
      Dim strRetVal As String = ""
      Dim strUri As String =
         "http://www.quizopolis.com/gangster-name-generator.php?" &
         "gender=" & chrGender &
         "&firstname=" & strFirstName &
         "&secondname=" & strLastName
      Dim wc As New WebClient
      Dim fileWebIn As New StreamReader(wc.OpenRead(strUri))
      Dim rxGangsterName As New Regex("<b>(.* '.*' .*)</b>")
      Dim strData As String
      While Not fileWebIn.EndOfStream
         strData = fileWebIn.ReadLine()
         If (rxGangsterName.IsMatch(strData)) Then
            strRetVal = rxGangsterName.Match(strData).Groups(1).Value
         End If
      End While
      fileWebIn.Close()
      Return strRetVal
   End Function
 
   Function GetGangsterNameP(ByVal strFirstName As String, ByVal strLastName As String, ByVal chrGender As Char) As String
      Dim strRetVal As String = ""
      Dim strUri As String =
         "http://www.quizopolis.com/gangster-name-generator.php?" &
         "gender=" & chrGender &
         "&firstname=" & strFirstName &
         "&secondname=" & strLastName
 
      Dim req As HttpWebRequest = WebRequest.Create(strUri)
      req.Method = WebRequestMethods.Http.Post
      Dim fileWebIn As New StreamReader(req.GetResponse().GetResponseStream())
 
      Dim rxGangsterName As New Regex("<b>(.* '.*' .*)</b>")
      Dim strData As String
      While Not fileWebIn.EndOfStream
         strData = fileWebIn.ReadLine()
         If (rxGangsterName.IsMatch(strData)) Then
            strRetVal = rxGangsterName.Match(strData).Groups(1).Value
         End If
      End While
      fileWebIn.Close()
      Return strRetVal
   End Function
 
   '
   Sub Main()
      Console.WriteLine(GetGangsterNameG("Fred", "Johnson", "M"(0)))
      Console.WriteLine(GetGangsterNameG("Jill", "Jackson", "F"(0)))
      Console.WriteLine(GetGangsterNameP("Sam", "Sneed", "M"(0)))

   End Sub
End Module

[thines01]

Any form is submitted the same way. The variables you use will be specific to the form you are calling.
Can you show me the HTML code for the form you are trying to submit?

[daydie]

its basicly subject and message i want to change and add a value to and click btnbutton.

Right.
Inside that page is a form.
The action on the form says action="/uk/jforum.page"
...which will need to be converted to the full URI in your code starting with "http"
It has a bunch of variables
action=sendSave
module=pm
preview=0
bunker=
request_hash=
start=
toUserNaame=EvilGearPL
toUserId=100
subject={some subject goes here}
message={message body goes here} // will need to be converted to query-string allowable text

You will need to experiment to find which variables are optional.
So, using the same technique mentioned earlier, you can do the same thing.

[daydie]

i wouldnt have a clue fella =/ do u know any guide sites i can start learnings http reqesting and posting?

[thines01]

Actually, you can use my example and substitute in the names of the variables (and the URI).
You can use just the function with the WebClient to do this particular submission.

I only put in both methods for reference.

[daydie]

in your code there is no commands to replace HTML comments, u added variables into the URL but im really needing to change the HTML so i can add value to source.
