beatngu 65 Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 Hi all,I have this strange problem,one bot i have used for years without problems stopped working today.The site had change the code a bit so i had to update the bot,but now they are blocking me from uploading images.I have never had problem with this before today,so it looks like they found a way to stop the bot. When trying to upload images with the ubot browser it just keeps on loading and the images never shows up on the site.I tested it with Chrome,Firefox and Ie and they where all working fine it is just the ubot browser not able to upload the pictures. Has anyone a idea on how to get this working?This is a huge bot so i really do not have the time to convert it to c# and i would like to fix it so i can just keep this one as a ubot. Here is the link to the site: https://www.marktplaats.nl/syi/820/829/plaatsAdvertentie.html?bucket=226&origin=HEADER If you click on one of the images on 3 then you get a windows popup to enter the file name.But the image never shows on the site it just keeps loading and does not display it.I never had this problem before but now it always fails even doing it manual in the ubot browser. So does anyone know a workaround for this? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
beatngu 65 Posted March 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 Found the problem and that is this piece of junk Awesomium.Tried awesomium in visual studio and it is having same problem as in the bot,not loading the images. Unless someone has a workaround i think i need to make a ticket for this one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
a2mateit 395 Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 Did you try changing the user agent? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
beatngu 65 Posted March 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 Yeah i have tried everything,they are blocking awesomium,this bot was running fine for years but they changes the site to stop the bot.But what will happen when more sites block awesomium??Will ubot not be obsolete then?,this site is owned by ebay so it should just be a matter of time since they stopped my bot. Does anyone know how to spoof the browser in ubot? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mamica 10 Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 I m not sure they are blocking anything. I had similiar problems. You want to uplaod file, so maybe you need to work around your code a little bit. But if they blobk ubot browser then why not blobk whole page? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
luis carlos 94 Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 OLX.com has the same problem for uploading images (ebay's site too)Yeah i have tried everything,they are blocking awesomium,this bot was running fine for years but they changes the site to stop the bot.But what will happen when more sites block awesomium??Will ubot not be obsolete then?,this site is owned by ebay so it should just be a matter of time since they stopped my bot.

But if they blobk ubot browser then why not blobk whole page?They do not need to block the whole page this is enough to destroy my bot,and now they can easy see who is using the bot since all ads are placed without pictures.I stopped to use ubot a while back and this was the only ubot i had left and now i have no use for ubot at all.Already started to re-code this bot since i am sure i will be faster to re-code the whole bot then wait for the ubot team to solve this.

the_way 52 Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 This looks like a major hurdle on the horizon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wizeone17 7 Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 Same here, ubot browser if being detected. This will make Ubot obsolete if there's no fix. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
malefic 48 Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 Possibly due to Ubot using an outdated version of Awesomium? Did you try the latest version in visual studio? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
calheira 2 Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 This problem is still occurring in OLX. Is there any estimate of when it will be fixed? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

beatngu 65 Posted December 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 There are no workarounds for this in ubot,so my workaround was to stop using ubot and never look back.They are blocking awesomnium and as long as ubot don't change the shitty browser to something like firefox gecko it will not work.The only times i use ubot is when i am working with a lot of code then i make a small ubot that makes the code for me so i can just copy past it in to visual studio.
