I am scraping a website which has Oracle ADF loopback script which continuously redirects me to same page of mine, so how to bypass it?
Following is my php code.
<?php
$url = 'https://www.mywebsite.com/faces/index.jspx';
$ch = curl_init($url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, dirname(__FILE__) . '/cookie.txt');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, dirname(__FILE__) . '/cookie.txt');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$header[] = 'User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/71.0.3578.98 Safari/537.36';
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);
$data = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
if (curl_errno($ch)) { // check for execution errors
echo 'Scraper error: ' . curl_error($ch);
exit;
}
echo $data;
?>
When i run above code i got redirected to same page,
and it also adds some query string parameters like ?_afrLoop=39478247795404&_afrWindowMode=0&_afrWindowId=null
in actual site _afrWindowId has some random alphanumeric string but i am getting null.
after stopping page redirection manually i got page which has Oracle loopback script as following
which causes the redirection, what to do help me.
loopback script:
<html lang="el-GR"><head><script>
/*
** Copyright (c) 2008, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.
*/
/**
* This is the loopback script to process the url before the real page loads. It introduces
* a separate round trip. During this first roundtrip, we currently do two things:
* - check the url hash portion, this is for the PPR Navigation.
* - do the new window detection
* the above two are both controled by parameters in web.xml
*
* Since it's very lightweight, so the network latency is the only impact.
*
* here are the list of will-pass-in parameters (these will replace the param in this whole
* pattern:
* viewIdLength view Id length (characters),
* loopbackIdParam loopback Id param name,
* loopbackId loopback Id,
* loopbackIdParamMatchExpr loopback Id match expression,
* windowModeIdParam window mode param name,
* windowModeParamMatchExpr window mode match expression,
* clientWindowIdParam client window Id param name,
* clientWindowIdParamMatchExpr client window Id match expression,
* windowId window Id,
* initPageLaunch initPageLaunch,
* enableNewWindowDetect whether we want to enable new window detection
* jsessionId session Id that needs to be appended to the redirect URL
* enablePPRNav whether we want to enable PPR Navigation

The right way to crawl ADF pages is to pass in URL a parameter
*domain.com*?org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.outputMode=webcrawler
to all the GET requests from the script. Keep in mind that when you switch to crawler mode, the pages will look different since it is not meant for human consumption, but it should contain all the raw details you would care about to crawl.
Although, this is an old question and the OP might have long moved on to better things, thought of answering this here to help anybody else hitting the same problem.
