In this post I’ll share how I’ve added a LetsEncrypt SSL certificate to a subdomain at VPS with Centos 7 using Vesta CP.
Tag: HTTP
This post is devoted to the steps of how to create subdomain (Centos 7 and Vesta CP) and map a [Laravel] project folder to it.
Intro
Some may argue that extracting 3 records per minute is not fast enough for an automated scraper (see my last post on Dexi multi-threaded jobs). However, you should realize that Dexi extractor robots behave like a full-blown modern browser and fetch all the resources that crawled pages load (CSS, JS, fonts, etc.).
In terms of performance, an extractor robot might not be as fast as a pure HTTP scraping script, but its advantage is the ability to extract data from dynamic websites which require running JavaScript code in order to generate a user-facing content. It will also be harder for anti-bot mechanisms to detect and block it.
Fiddler web sniffer Review
The Fiddler web sniffer software is one of several well-known HTTP debugging proxies. It works well, and the proxy nature of the sniffer makes it stand out among other web sniffing tools.
The HTTP Scoop sniffer by Tuffcode is a Mac OS web sniffer doing multiple HTTP watches. This tools stands in a row of other HTTP protocol sniffing tools.
This post is on the distinctions between specific web sniffers: those of induction nature, and those of condenser or proxy nature.
The Charlesproxy website sniffer is the subject of this post. This sniffing/monitoring application works with Windows, Mac and Linux OS. It rather differs from other web traffic sniffing tools.
WireShark is an all-inclusive network protocol analyzer. It works to display all the protocol layers including application layer protocols (HTTP and SSL). Though it is well able to capture a multitude of protocols, we focus on the HTTP, which is vital to Web Scraping. Other traffic analyzers are reviewed here.
