It seems there might be a confusion in your request. Polly is a resilience and transient-fault-handling library in C# for dealing with issues like network failures, timeouts, and other transient errors. It is not directly related to parsing courses or web scraping.

If you are looking to parse a course from a website using C#, you might want to use a combination of HTTP requests and HTML parsing libraries. Here's a basic example using the HtmlAgilityPack library for HTML parsing and HttpClient for making HTTP requests

Install HtmlAgilityPack:

You can install the HtmlAgilityPack library using NuGet Package Manager Console:

Install-Package HtmlAgilityPack

Example Code

Here's a simple example of how you might use HttpClient and HtmlAgilityPack to parse course information from a website:

using System;
using System.Net.Http;
using HtmlAgilityPack;

class Program
{
    static async System.Threading.Tasks.Task Main(string[] args)
    {
        // URL of the course page
        string courseUrl = "https://example.com/courses";

        // Make an HTTP request to get the HTML content
        using (HttpClient client = new HttpClient())
        {
            string htmlContent = await client.GetStringAsync(courseUrl);

            // Use HtmlAgilityPack to parse the HTML
            HtmlDocument doc = new HtmlDocument();
            doc.LoadHtml(htmlContent);

            // Extract course information (modify as per the HTML structure)
            HtmlNodeCollection courseNodes = doc.DocumentNode.SelectNodes("//div[@class='course']");
            if (courseNodes != null)
            {
                foreach (HtmlNode courseNode in courseNodes)
                {
                    string courseTitle = courseNode.SelectSingleNode(".//h2")?.InnerText.Trim();
                    string courseDescription = courseNode.SelectSingleNode(".//p")?.InnerText.Trim();

                    Console.WriteLine($"Title: {courseTitle}");
                    Console.WriteLine($"Description: {courseDescription}");
                    Console.WriteLine();
                }
            }
            else
            {
                Console.WriteLine("No course information found on the page.");
            }
        }
    }
}

This is a basic example, and you'll need to adapt it based on the actual HTML structure of the course page you are working with.

If Selenium is not loading the specified browser profile, there are several possible reasons and solutions to investigate. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and resolve the issue:

1. Check Profile Path:

   • Verify that the path to the specified browser profile is correct. Provide the absolute path to the profile directory when setting up the browser profile.

2. Ensure Browser Compatibility:

   • Make sure that the version of Selenium WebDriver you are using is compatible with the version of the browser. Compatibility issues can sometimes cause profile-related problems.

3. Use Browser-Specific Options:

   • Different browsers may have specific options for setting up a profile. For example, in Chrome, you can use user-data-dir to specify the user data directory (profile).

from selenium import webdriver

chrome_options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
chrome_options.add_argument('--user-data-dir=/path/to/profile')

driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=chrome_options)

• Profile Settings Conflict:

  • Check if there are conflicting settings in the specified profile that might interfere with Selenium. Manually inspect the profile directory to ensure it is in a clean state.

• Clear Browser Cache and Cookies:

  • If you are using an existing profile, clearing the browser cache and cookies might help. Create a clean profile or clear the existing one before running your Selenium script.

• Profile Locking:

  • Ensure that the specified profile is not locked by another instance of the browser. Make sure that no other browser instances are using the same profile concurrently.

• Browser Version Mismatch:

  • If you have recently updated your browser, there might be compatibility issues with the existing profile. Create a new profile or update the existing one to match the browser version.

• Handle Security Restrictions:

  • Some browsers, especially when used in automated testing, may impose security restrictions on loading specific profiles. Review browser settings or consider adjusting security settings to allow profile loading.

• Check for Selenium Updates:

  • Ensure that you are using the latest version of the Selenium WebDriver library. Updates may include fixes for profile-related issues.

• Logging and Debugging:

  • Enable browser and WebDriver logs to capture any error messages or warnings related to the profile. This can provide insights into what might be going wrong.

• Use Browser-Specific Drivers:

  • If you are using a specific browser (e.g., Chrome, Firefox), make sure you are using the appropriate browser-specific WebDriver executable (ChromeDriver, GeckoDriver).

To log into an account using Selenium, you need to locate the login form elements, enter the login credentials, and submit the form. The exact steps may vary depending on the website's structure, but here's a general example using C#:

Install the required NuGet packages:

Install-Package OpenQA.Selenium.Chrome.WebDriver -Version 3.141.0
Install-Package OpenQA.Selenium.Support.UI -Version 3.141.0

Create a method to log into an account:

using OpenQA.Selenium;
using OpenQA.Selenium.Support.UI;
using System;

public static void LoginToAccount(IWebDriver driver, string username, string password)
{
    // Locate the username field
    IWebElement usernameField = driver.FindElement(By.Id("username"));
    usernameField.SendKeys(username);

    // Locate the password field
    IWebElement passwordField = driver.FindElement(By.Id("password"));
    passwordField.SendKeys(password);

    // Locate the login button and click it
    IWebElement loginButton = driver.FindElement(By.Id("login-button"));
    loginButton.Click();

    // Wait for the login process to complete (optional)
    WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10));
    wait.Until(d => d.FindElement(By.Id("logout-link")));
}

Use the LoginToAccount method in your test code:

using OpenQA.Selenium;
using System;

namespace SeleniumLoginExample
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            // Set up the WebDriver
            IWebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
            driver.Manage().Window.Maximize();

            // Navigate to the login page
            driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("https://www.example.com/login");

            // Wait for the login form to load
            WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10));
            IWebElement loginForm = wait.Until(x => x.Id == "login-form");

            // Log in to the account
            LoginToAccount(driver, "your_username", "your_password");

            // Perform any additional actions as needed

            // Close the browser
            driver.Quit();
        }
    }
}

In this example, we first create a method called LoginToAccount that takes an IWebDriver instance, a username, and a password as input. Inside the method, we locate the username field, password field, and login button using their respective IDs, and then enter the credentials and click the login button.

In the test code, we set up the WebDriver, navigate to the login page, and wait for the login form to load. Then, we call the LoginToAccount method with the required credentials. After logging in, you can perform any additional actions as needed.

Remember to replace "https://www.example.com/login", "your_username", and "your_password" with the actual login page URL and your credentials.

A proxy server acts as an intermediary between the client and the requested Internet resource. It is assigned the role of a kind of gateway or filter, which is responsible for submitting a request, receiving the required information and providing it to the user. The proxy server, if necessary, can make changes in incoming and outgoing data, the nature of which will depend on the type of proxy and its settings.

There are 2 ways to do this. The first is to manually change the settings in /etc/environment, but you will definitely need root access to do that. You can also use the Network Manager utility (compatible with all common DEs). You just have to make sure beforehand that the driver for the network adapter to work properly is installed on the system.
