How do I scrape information off ASP.NET websites when paging and JavaScript links are being used?

问题


I have been given a staff list which is supposed to be up to date but it doesn't match an intranet People Finder which is written in ASP.NET.

As the information is sensitive I am not able to access the database the People Finder is using so the only way I can get at the information is by scraping the structure starting at the top brass at the top and then going through each tier in turn.

Each person has a Staff number which then forms the URL http://intranet/peoplefinder/index.aspx?srn=ABC1234 and then all the people who report to them are listed underneth in the format <a id="gvEmployees_ctl03_lnkFullName" href="index.aspx?srn=ABC4321" target="_self"> where each URL indicates the Staff number and provides a link to their team.

The trouble arises when the teams are big as paging is implemented in the GridView with an URL such as <a href="javascript:__doPostBack('gvEmployees','Page$2')">2</a>.

How would I scrape this page, capture the SRN and other details along with the people who report to the person on all pages of the GridView then loop through each reportee and do the same process until the whole list is complete?

You could post a variable to the HTML page to go through the paging.

string lcUrl = "http://www.mysite.com/page.aspx";

HttpWebRequest loHttp =

   (HttpWebRequest) WebRequest.Create(lcUrl);


// *** Send any POST data

string lcPostData =

   "gvEmployees=" + HttpUtility.UrlEncode("Page$2");

loHttp.Method="POST";

byte [] lbPostBuffer = System.Text.           

                       Encoding.GetEncoding(1252).GetBytes(lcPostData);

loHttp.ContentLength = lbPostBuffer.Length;

Stream loPostData = loHttp.GetRequestStream();

loPostData.Write(lbPostBuffer,0,lbPostBuffer.Length);

loPostData.Close();

HttpWebResponse loWebResponse = (HttpWebResponse) loHttp.GetResponse();

Encoding enc = System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding(1252);

StreamReader loResponseStream =

   new StreamReader(loWebResponse.GetResponseStream(),enc);

string lcHtml = loResponseStream.ReadToEnd();

loWebResponse.Close();

loResponseStream.Close();

Then parse out the data you need from the string.

--EDIT--

Here is what I would try (something similar) where all of the post data is sent:

string lcPostData =

       "__EVENTTARGET" + HttpUtility.UrlEncode("gvEmployees"); &
"__EVENTARGUMENT" + HttpUtility.UrlEncode("Page%242"); &
"__VIEWSTATE" + HttpUtility.UrlEncode("<Value of _Viewstate>");



回答2:


You open the fiddler and open the second page of asp.net website table.Go to webforms tab in Fiddler for that particular page session and check in the body what are the variables are posting.Concat all variables in same sequence format and post data using HttpWebRequest. In my case it was:

string PostData = "__EVENTTARGET=" 
    + HttpUtility.UrlEncode("ctl00$ContentPlaceHolder2$grdDirectory") 
    + "&"
    + "__EVENTARGUMENT="+HttpUtility.UrlEncode("Page$2") 
    + "&"
    + "__VIEWSTATE="+ HttpUtility.UrlEncode(view_state)
    + "&"
    + "__VIEWSTATEGENERATOR=" 
    + HttpUtility.UrlEncode(viewstategenerator)
    + "&"
    + "__VIEWSTATEENCRYPTED=" 
    + HttpUtility.UrlEncode(viewstateencrypted) 
    + "&" 
    + "__EVENTVALIDATION=" + HttpUtility.UrlEncode(eventvalidation);

Hope It will work.
