I am scraping a website which has Oracle ADF loopback script which continuously redirects me to same page of mine, so how to bypass it?
Following is my php code.
<?php
$url = 'https://www.mywebsite.com/faces/index.jspx';
$ch = curl_init($url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, dirname(__FILE__) . '/cookie.txt');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, dirname(__FILE__) . '/cookie.txt');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$header[] = 'User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/71.0.3578.98 Safari/537.36';
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);
$data = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
if (curl_errno($ch)) { // check for execution errors
echo 'Scraper error: ' . curl_error($ch);
exit;
}
echo $data;
?>
When i run above code i got redirected to same page,
and it also adds some query string parameters like ?_afrLoop=39478247795404&_afrWindowMode=0&_afrWindowId=null
in actual site _afrWindowId has some random alphanumeric string but i am getting null.
after stopping page redirection manually i got page which has Oracle loopback script as following
which causes the redirection, what to do help me.
loopback script:
<html lang="el-GR"><head><script>
/*
** Copyright (c) 2008, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.
*/
/**
* This is the loopback script to process the url before the real page loads. It introduces
* a separate round trip. During this first roundtrip, we currently do two things:
* - check the url hash portion, this is for the PPR Navigation.
* - do the new window detection
* the above two are both controled by parameters in web.xml
*
* Since it's very lightweight, so the network latency is the only impact.
*
* here are the list of will-pass-in parameters (these will replace the param in this whole
* pattern:
* viewIdLength view Id length (characters),
* loopbackIdParam loopback Id param name,
* loopbackId loopback Id,
* loopbackIdParamMatchExpr loopback Id match expression,
* windowModeIdParam window mode param name,
* windowModeParamMatchExpr window mode match expression,
* clientWindowIdParam client window Id param name,
* clientWindowIdParamMatchExpr client window Id match expression,
* windowId window Id,
* initPageLaunch initPageLaunch,
* enableNewWindowDetect whether we want to enable new window detection
* jsessionId session Id that needs to be appended to the redirect URL
* enablePPRNav whether we want to enable PPR Navigation
