I need to create white-list of plugins that are allowed to run inside WebBrowser control.
I managed to implement IInternetSecurityManager and to allow / disallow all plugins that are installed. Unfortunately I can't get CLSID or something else of plugin that is about to load inside website (for example Flash in youtube.com)
Does anyone know is this possible? Can I get a list of plugins that are about to run?
Basically I want to allow Flash to run only on if I run it on a trusted site.
Of course, I can do this by HTML manipulation on DocumentCompleted event, but there is major drawback to this aproach. Someone could load plugin by JavaScript after initial load. Also while I receive this event, sync it's async, plugin is already running until I handle it from code.
Thanks

I have a selenium grid2 set up on an AWS instance, and I was wondering if there's a way I could view the logs on my local machine?
I understand I can visit: http://MyServerAddress/grid/console and view all of the nodes but I want the actual log.
Its a bit of a pain having to remote desktop to the server each time I want to view it.
I was thinking something like http://MyServerAddress/grid/log but alas, it doesnt seem to be an option.
There's nothing available out of the box. But you can build this on your own.
You would first need to enable logging for your Grid and have the logs dumped to a specific folder.
You would now need to build a custom Servlet and inject it into the servlet (See here for details on how to do it )
Assuming that your servlet is called "HubLogServlet", you should be able to access it via the link http://localhost:4444/grid/admin/HubLogServlet
You can refer to this LogServlet for a sample.
I have a dotnet Selenium web driver app.
When I'm testing the page one of the things I need to confirm is that a flash object on the page has pulled correct content from a content store on my site. (i.e. the flash object should be loading content from /stuff/info.txt and including that content within the animation.)
As a human looking at this I can use the chrome network tab and see that /stuff/info.txt has been accessed.
How can I make Selenium execute a similar watch and see the network requests made by a web browser?
I did not wrote this, neither tested it however someone did it here: http://www.softwareishard.com/blog/firebug/automate-page-load-performance-testing-with-firebug-and-selenium/
Basically all the requests are exported via netexport and firebug plugins inside a HAR (Http ARchive file)
Please give us your feedback if you give it a try!
Cheers !
I assume you want to automate the process which the developer tools of browsers does. Something like firebug but for verification using Code.
I don't believe Selenium has such features. For now, you will not be able to achieve this.
I could not think of a better title, Please suggest one.
I am planning to work on a large web application. It will take time to load the full application before application starts functioning.
Suppose its something like asana.com. If you have a link to the task and you open the link. It loads the application first and then shows the detail of the task.
Note: I have added another example in update 2
I want to do just the opposite. Suppose if I try to open the link directly. It should show me the tasks details first and then load the whole application in background.
What development strategy should I follow to implement such feature. Will angular be good for this? I have worked with angular for small projects and am capable of think in angular :)
I just wanted to be pointed in right direction.
Update 1:
I am using Apache2 PHP5 in backing as ReST API. I am thinking to change to GoLang http server. But that does not matter in this context :)
Update 2:
I have not yet started working on the application, but I know that its size is going to be big and its going to take time to load the application. This will be a javascript application, all the communication to web will be done mostly by API. APIs will be fast and it wont be slowing down the application. My main concern is the javascript library and the approach to the issue that I want to display the content of the page before the application is loaded and load the application in background.
As second example: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/a-journey-through-middle/gjgkjeheegjnnmheaflhdocglkiegoni?utm_source=chrome-ntp-icon
If you open this link in chrome, it will load the application and then load the specific content in a popup. I want to load the content of the popup first and then load the application in background. How should I write my application to achieve that.
My suggestion (and I say this as I start to do similar vs. having proven it successful) would be to make some level of framework fairly static so that users get an almost instant response to the site loaded and then start the angular app with something like this
angular.bootstrap(document.getElementById("container"), ["app"])
Ref for the api - https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/function/angular.bootstrap
Ref for a demonstration of this - https://egghead.io/lessons/angularjs-angular-bootstrap-app-init
My expectation then is that you will be able to
Load your static elements quickly (which will just have placeholders for your content/material)
Access the data you want in the order you want to get it to present on the screen
Release any other part of the app you need to chrome it up/decorate or populate side items.
I have an EXTJS app and when I look at the source by using browser's inspect element I can see my entire app's source code (except for the server-side code ofcourse.).
I have seen some extjs apps that when inspecting theie source code, all I can see is the app.html page and non of their .js files is discover able by the browser.
I was wondering how I should configure my EXTJS app to make them not viewable inside the browsers "Sources" tab (ie. Chrome's Inspect Element > Sources).
Any help is much appreciated,
The best you can do is to obfuscate your code, as there is no way to stop someone looking at it once its got to the browser.
Even if the browser could hide it somehow, there is nothing stopping a user sniffing the packets on the network etc.
I'm looking for something similar to the VB6 / .Net Winforms "Browser Control", that let's you show a browser inside your application.
I don't want to just render a page, I want it to be a fully-functional browser, in which people can click links, will run Javascript, etc.
In essence, what I want is an IFrame, only that it runs inside a Flash app, or a Silverlight app.
The ultimate reason for this is that I want to defeat IFrame busters. I'm making a web app that lets you see other sites inside of it, and I'm running into a bunch of sites that have this code:
var t=top.location,w=window.location;if(t!=w) t.replace(w);
(that's from eBay BTW)
which essentially pops the user out of my site and into theirs.
My hope is that by using a "browser control" of some sort, inside a plugin sandbox, "top", will be top for that browser control, and not for my site.
Of course, if you have any other ideas to achieve the same, they'll be more than welcome.
Edit: I've tried the Component One control suggested by Bill, but it didn't work for these purposes, because it's creating an IFrame outside of the SilverLight control, so it executes in the same context as the page hosting Silverlight, which is what I'm trying to avoid.
Northcode SWF Studio allows you to add browser window on the stage in Flash. I personally use SWF Studio as a third party SWF2EXE tool to extend the power of Flash projectors. It's quite stable and powerful. As far as browser control is concerned here is the example you can download and test if it serves your purpose. Check the Browser APT here.
We've not built a component to enable folks to do this but we're open to suggestions here. That being said, easiest solution is an iFrame, but word of caution in that when you overlay an iFrame over the the top of Silverlight we've seen customers experience perf issues as a result (mostly due to alpha transparency of the iframe etc).
This isn't isolated to Silverlight, Flash suffers the same issue as it has to do with browsers and rendering within the given operating system.
HTH.

I use the HTML control created by Component One. It has the limitation that the Silverlight object in the page should be set to windowless, but otherwise it works very well.
It's an old post but I'll add my tupence answer. I used the DivElements free control for Silverlight link text and it works quite nicely. It just positions the div accurately so that it looks like it's on top.
As for the other such controls, you've got to set the windowless property of the Silverlight container to true.
It works really well for me and I'm able to seemlessly have Google maps and the Acrobat plugin displayed side by side with my Silverlight application.
PS: because the component just adds a <div> to the page, you can't do stuff like having it load dynamically Javascript file like in the <header> tag.
PPS: when setting the HTML code "by hand", be sure to hook up on the DocumentReady or Loaded event before playing with the HTML DOM.
Hope that helps someone.
