Copy cookie from request headers

Try...
Code:
Function GetCookie(strUrl)
    With CreateObject("WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5.1")
        .Open "GET", strUrl, False
        .SetRequestHeader "REFERER", strUrl
        .SetRequestHeader "User-Agent", "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)"
        .SetRequestHeader "Accept", "text/xml,application/xml,application/xhtml+xml,text/html;q=0.9,text/plain;q=0.8,image/png,*/*;q=0.5"
        .SetRequestHeader "Accept-Language", "en-us,en;q=0.5"
        .SetRequestHeader "Accept-Charset", "ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.7"
        .Send
        strCookie = .getResponseHeader("Set-Cookie")
        strCookie = Split(strCookie, ";")(0)
        GetCookie = strCookie
    End With
End Function

Sub Demo()
Debug.Print GetCookie("http://162.217.184.82/i2/default.aspx")
End Sub

Edit: If you want both part of Set-Cookie header, change strCookie part of code to something like below and do further text manipulation as needed.
Code:
        strCookie = .getAllResponseHeaders
        strCookie = Split(strCookie, vbCrLf)
        GetCookie = strCookie(5) & vbCrLf & strCookie(6)

That's great and fascinating ..
But I didn't find any of the search parameters of this cookie UDF .. I expect that it is related to the search numbers as I explained in the snapshot
Thank you very much
 
If you copy this data and put in notepad and used Ctrl + F (Find) and searched for any number you will find the number ( 31 for example) embedded in that data .. and the same with the other numbers

I know. That's what I said in post #5. But that's not part of cookie string. That's Form data that's being sent via script and you can't really scrape that part.

Just construct the string following the structure in code if you need to send form data to the server.
 
Thanks a lot. How can I construct the string of the form data .. Forgive me as I am novice at the issues of scraping
 
No. UDF is just to get cookie info as you requested initially. Has nothing to do with Form data or actual responseText returned (cookie is part of header/meta data and not in responseText).

You'd use separate Winhttp/xmlhttp to send "POST" request with form data.

See codes in links I gave you.
 
I tried that code
Code:
  Function GetCookie(strUrl)
  Dim strCookie
  Dim ArgumentStr As String

        .Open "GET", strUrl, False

    End With
End Function

Sub Demo()
Debug.Print GetCookie("http://162.217.184.82/i2/default.aspx")
End Sub

But that's part of the cookie. I need to copy the same as shown in the snapshot in the first post
Something like that

Code:
ASP.NET_SessionId=sgh24ey5hdnhmg454gk4fsjb; BIGipServerpool_rod_public_website=1376261292.20480.0000; PageSize=100
 
... so you combine two separate process.

Use the code I gave you to get the cookie and clean it up for use in second code.

Second code will be needed to send "POST" request using form data and cookie as part of request header.
 
Here's the final code but I didn't get any results. Please fix that code ..

When you are done creating a scraper using xmlhttp or serverxmlhttp or winhttp request, just compare the execution time between the one you are after and the one I'm pasting below:
Code:

I'm getting 66 rows filled in. I suppose that much data are there. It took me less than 5 seconds to get the data. Hope it makes sense.
 
Thank you very much Mr. Shahin for your great and awesome help
The problem with that code is that I don't get all the required data .. try this number 16-17-114-027-0000
I tested your code and got only 20 records while they are 26

** As for the code in post #15 working very well .. but the problem will be with that line
Code:
.setRequestHeader "Cookie", "ASP.NET_SessionId=sgh24ey5hdnhmg454gk4fsjb; BIGipServerpool_rod_public_website=1376261292.20480.0000; PageSize=100"
as the session id will be changeable after some time
 
I ran using the number "16-17-114-027-0000" you have provided above and got 26 rows filled in with results. Just need to replace this portion with the existing one:
Code:
    Do: Set maxpage = HTML.getElementById("DocList1_PageView5Btn"): DoEvents: Loop While maxpage Is Nothing
    maxpage.Click
 
The same problem .. I got only 2 records not the 26 records ...
Is it working well for you? If so what 's my problem? IE version or what?
 
At the same time this cookie is temporary and will be invalid after a period of time

So that's the portion where you will use the function I gave in post #2 to scrape fresh cookie and use that to construct the header that you need to.

Other than that, the site is pretty straight forward to scrape.

I already tried to do that .. I have used the UDF and got the cookie and used it in the working code but I got nothing .. but when manaully do these steps to get the cookie as in the first post it is working well .. at this point the only problem is to get the cookie correctly


@MarcL
Thanks for the advice .. But I like to learn even if the issue was not at my level .. my slogan is to try and fail even if I failed a thousand times ..
As for using IE Mr. Shahin already offered a good working one .. but the problem is that it grabs only one page not all the pages .. while it is working for him and grabs all the records (that's weird ..!!)

Thanks a lot for sharing the issue. I appreciate a lot your great efforts
 
You may want to build in error checks. But to get cookie string in the form you can use... change code in post #2 to something like below.
Code:
Function GetCookie(strUrl)
    With CreateObject("WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5.1")
        .Open "GET", strUrl, False
        .SetRequestHeader "REFERER", strUrl
        .SetRequestHeader "User-Agent", "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)"
        .SetRequestHeader "Accept", "text/xml,application/xml,application/xhtml+xml,text/html;q=0.9,text/plain;q=0.8,image/png,*/*;q=0.5"
        .SetRequestHeader "Accept-Language", "en-us,en;q=0.5"
        .SetRequestHeader "Accept-Charset", "ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.7"
        .Send
        strCookie = .getAllResponseHeaders
        strCookie = Split(strCookie, vbCrLf)
        GetCookie = Trim(Split(Split(strCookie(5), ";")(0), ":")(1)) & "; " & Trim(Split(Split(strCookie(6), ";")(0), ":")(1))
    End With
End Function

Sub Demo()
Debug.Print GetCookie("http://162.217.184.82/i2/default.aspx") & "; PageSize=100"
End Sub

This will return...
Code:
ASP.NET_SessionId=rem4za45hzasud45xntglnau; BIGipServerpool_rod_public_website=1376261292.20480.0000; PageSize=100
 
Mr. Champion
Let me lift hats up for you .. You are brilliant
That's exactly what I was searching for and requesting in my first post
And that is worked very very well with the code in post # 15

I just replaced that line
Code:
.setRequestHeader "Cookie", "ASP.NET_SessionId=sgh24ey5hdnhmg454gk4fsjb; BIGipServerpool_rod_public_website=1376261292.20480.0000; PageSize=100"
With that magic line
Code:
.setRequestHeader "Cookie", GetCookie("http://162.217.184.82/i2/default.aspx") & "; PageSize=100"

Now it is PERFECT

Thank you very very very much for this awesome solution
 
The way you have shown to play with Cookies is awesome @sir Chihiro. I've tried to follow your method to give a twitch in order to get all the Cookies separately but can't go forward.

Code:
Sub GetCookie()
    Dim strCookie As Variant

    With CreateObject("WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5.1")
        .Open "GET", "http://162.217.184.82/i2/default.aspx", False
        .setRequestHeader "User-Agent", "Mozilla/5.0"
        .send
        strCookie = .getAllResponseHeaders
        strCookie = Split(strCookie, "Cookie:")
        strCookie = Trim(strCookie(UBound(strCookie)))
        MsgBox strCookie
    End With
End Sub

However, with the above approach I can get the one big raw cookie string. Now, I wish to disassemble each of the portion from ";" and separate each of the cookies so that I can use multiple cookies when in need. Thanks in advance.
