Can a UBot's Web Cached Images be Saved?


Recommended Posts

Hey all,

 

Question.  Can the cached images from a UBot program running be saved?  I ask because I am having trouble downloading the images for an online web book.  I have managed to find the four to five images that are loaded in the background and save them to a list (not labeled w/ a file extension, but JPGs.  e.g. http://coursesmartpf1.bvdep.com/imagepage/F5C6EF72B2DA969D866455ED9A78C559C5B25128491910097D473598B7CD430C822FD31F60E622B308ABC123 , see code below). 

 

There are two problems.  First, if I traverse the pages too quickly, I found that I am sent to an "about:blank" in UBot directly (something I have never seen before).  When I add a 'wait' command of about 5 to 7 seconds (may be more), I am able to bypass this and move on to subsequent pages.  I should not that I am NOT able to recreate this error when surfing the web page normally (i.e. I can click as fast as I can in Firefox and it will still not lead me to an "about:blank").  Perhaps it is the UBot browser. 

 

 

Second problem.  Even with a wait statement I have a bigger issue.  When I go to download this 'list', I am able to save the images from the first page, but all subsequent pages continue to load the same images.  I have verified in the debugger that the list generated is different for each page (i.e. not an error with collecting the list from new pages).  Regardless, I clear the list out from page to page.  These NEW links from different pages will continue to send me the same four to five images from the initial page while I am STILL able to 'see' new pages (made of four to five images) when I progress through the book.

 

I would take screen shots, but the resolution is noticeably lower and there is a watermark of my name/website-ID that would trace it back to me.  Not that this second reason is of concern (I did buy the book), but my intention is to put the images back together and make a PDF of high enough quality to run keywords searches on after I do a text recognition.  I have also found one or two pieces of software that, when the files are organized/named appropriately, will go back and splice all relevant images together, so that is not an issue (yet :)

 

I am open to alternative suggestions, but feel like I am going crazy. 

 

Thanks in advance for any help.  Also, I am happy to post more code from the page  if it will help.
