Ubuntu HTTP Proxy

A proxy server acts as an intermediary between client and server parts of distributed network applications. The role of a transit node provides a logical break in the direct connection between the server and the client. A proxy server can also act as a firewall if the traffic it controls does not go through a workaround.

In the "System Settings" section, open the "Network" tab, and then, when you highlight the active connection, click "Advanced". Here, in the "Proxies" tab, tick only the HTTP proxy if you do not intend to use other types of proxies temporarily. Enter the address of your proxy server and its port in the designated fields and click "OK".

To simulate a click during scraping, you can use a headless browser automation library like Puppeteer for Node.js. Puppeteer provides a high-level API to control headless browsers, allowing you to automate tasks such as clicking on elements, filling out forms, and navigating through pages.

Here's a basic example of how you can use Puppeteer to simulate a click:

1. Install Puppeteer:

   • Install Puppeteer using npm:

npm install puppeteer

Write the Scraping Script:

• Create a Node.js script (e.g., scrape_with_click.js) with the following code:

const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');

async function scrapeWithClick() {
    const browser = await puppeteer.launch();
    const page = await browser.newPage();

    try {
        // Navigate to the target URL
        await page.goto('https://example.com');

        // Wait for a specific selector to appear (replace with the selector of the element you want to click)
        const elementSelector = 'button#exampleButton';
        await page.waitForSelector(elementSelector);

        // Simulate a click on the specified element
        await page.click(elementSelector);

        // Wait for the page to settle (replace with additional logic if needed)
        await page.waitForTimeout(2000);

        // Extract and print information after the click
        const extractedInfo = await page.evaluate(() => {
            // Replace this with your logic to extract information from the clicked page
            return document.title;
        });

        console.log('Extracted information after click:', extractedInfo);
    } catch (error) {
        console.error('Error during scraping:', error);
    } finally {
        // Close the browser
        await browser.close();
    }
}

// Run the scraping script
scrapeWithClick();

• • Replace 'https://example.com' with the URL you want to scrape.

  • Replace 'button#exampleButton' with the selector of the element you want to click.

• Run the Script:

  • Run the script using Node.js:

node scrape_with_click.js

This script uses Puppeteer to launch a headless browser, navigate to a specified URL, wait for a specific element to appear, simulate a click on that element, and then perform additional actions or extractions as needed.

Make sure to handle errors and adjust the script based on the structure of the website you are scraping.

Spring and Selenium are separate technologies with distinct purposes. Spring is a Java-based framework for building enterprise applications, while Selenium is a tool for automating web browsers for testing web applications.

Spring itself does not block System.in, and it is unlikely that Selenium would block System.in either, as Selenium primarily interacts with web browsers.

However, if your application uses Spring and Selenium together, it's possible that the combination of the two could block System.in under specific circumstances, such as when the application is running in an embedded server mode or if the test suite is running in a headless environment without a proper console.

To avoid blocking System.in, ensure that your application or test suite is configured to run in an environment that supports console input and output. If you're using an embedded server or a headless environment, you may need to use alternative logging mechanisms or debugging tools to interact with your application.

In Key Collector settings, the user can specify parameters of the proxy server through which the program will connect to the network. In the application window, first select "Settings", then go to the "Network" tab and check "Use proxy". Its parameters can be set either manually or through a configuration file.
