50 Proxy

It refers to a proxy that changes its IP address according to a set algorithm. This is done to minimize the risk of the proxy being recognized by web applications and to better ensure privacy.

Automapper is a library primarily used for mapping data between objects in C# applications. It is not specifically designed for parsing XML, but you can use it in conjunction with other libraries, such as XmlDocument or XDocument, to map XML data to C# objects.

Here's a simple example of parsing XML using XDocument and Automapper:

Assuming you have the following XML structure:

  John
  Doe

And a corresponding C# class:

public class PersonDto
{
    public string FirstName { get; set; }
    public string LastName { get; set; }
}

You can use Automapper to map the XML data to your C# object:

using AutoMapper;
using System;
using System.Xml.Linq;

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        // XML data
        string xmlData = "JohnDoe";

        // Parse XML using XDocument
        XDocument xmlDoc = XDocument.Parse(xmlData);

        // Configure Automapper
        MapperConfiguration config = new MapperConfiguration(cfg =>
        {
            cfg.CreateMap()
                .ForMember(dest => dest.FirstName, opt => opt.MapFrom(src => src.Element("FirstName").Value))
                .ForMember(dest => dest.LastName, opt => opt.MapFrom(src => src.Element("LastName").Value));
        });

        IMapper mapper = config.CreateMapper();

        // Map XML to C# object
        PersonDto personDto = mapper.Map(xmlDoc.Root);

        // Print the result
        Console.WriteLine($"FirstName: {personDto.FirstName}");
        Console.WriteLine($"LastName: {personDto.LastName}");
    }
}

In this example, we use Automapper's CreateMap method to define a mapping between XElement and PersonDto. The ForMember method is used to specify how each property of PersonDto should be mapped from the corresponding XML element.

Keep in mind that Automapper may be more beneficial when dealing with complex object mappings rather than simple XML parsing scenarios. For straightforward XML parsing tasks, using XDocument or XmlDocument directly might be sufficient.

In JavaScript with Selenium, you can save and reuse cookies using the WebDriver's manage().getCookies() and manage().addCookie() methods. Here's a simple example:

const { Builder } = require('selenium-webdriver');
const firefox = require('selenium-webdriver/firefox');

// Create a new instance of the Firefox driver
const driver = new Builder()
  .forBrowser('firefox')
  .setFirefoxOptions(new firefox.Options().headless())
  .build();

// Navigate to a webpage
async function navigateToPage() {
  await driver.get('https://example.com');
}

// Save cookies
async function saveCookies() {
  const cookies = await driver.manage().getCookies();
  // Save the cookies to a file or some storage mechanism
  // For simplicity, we'll just print them here
  console.log('Cookies:', cookies);
}

// Reuse cookies
async function reuseCookies(savedCookies) {
  // Delete existing cookies
  await driver.manage().deleteAllCookies();

  // Add the saved cookies to the browser session
  for (const cookie of savedCookies) {
    await driver.manage().addCookie(cookie);
  }

  // Navigate to a page to apply the cookies
  await navigateToPage();
}

// Example usage
(async () => {
  await navigateToPage(); // Navigate to the page and set some initial cookies

  await saveCookies(); // Save the cookies

  // Close and reopen the browser or navigate to a different page
  // ...

  // Reuse the saved cookies
  await reuseCookies(savedCookies);
})();

The navigateToPage function navigates to a webpage and sets some initial cookies.

The saveCookies function retrieves the current cookies using manage().getCookies() and prints them. You would typically save them to a file or some storage mechanism.

The reuseCookies function deletes existing cookies, then adds the saved cookies back to the browser session using manage().addCookie(). It then navigates to a page to apply the cookies.

The example usage section demonstrates how to use these functions in a sequence.

The first thing you need to do to use a proxy in your browser is to make the necessary settings. In Google Chrome browser, go to "Network" and then find and click on "Change proxy settings". In the "Internet properties" window that opens, go to "Connection" and click on the "Network settings" button at the bottom. When a new window opens, check the "Use proxy server for local connections" box and the "Do not use proxy server for local addresses" box. Enter the proxy port and IP address in the corresponding fields, close the window and click "OK".

VPN allows you to hide your real IP address, as well as further encrypt your traffic. VPN is also actively used for address spoofing. For example, the user is in the Russian Federation, but by connecting through a VPN server, the site "thinks" that the user is from the United States.
