Trying to web scrape https data. As you know httpGet$ will not download https data. So trying JavaScript. I know very little about JS, so need the JS experts to jump in. I'm trying the download.download script described here: developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/API/downloads/downloadBasically I get nothing back. I added a alert() to the code just to see if it was executing. It shows the alert. html "<script> function onStartedDownload(id) { console.log(`Started downloading: ${id}`); }
function onFailed(error) { console.log(`Download failed: ${error}`); }
var downloadUrl = 'https://finance.yahoo.com/most-active?.tsrc=fin-srch'; alert(downloadUrl); var downloading = browser.downloads.download({ url : downloadUrl, saveAs : true; filename : 'e:/data/temp/hist.txt', conflictAction : 'uniquify' }); downloading.then(onStartedDownload, onFailed);
</script>" wait --------------------------------------------- To make it very simple, I tried this: html "<script>
var downloading = browser.downloads.download({ url : 'https://www.google.com/', filename : 'hist.txt' });
</script>" wait Thanks for the help.. Dan
