I'm trying to download a ZIP file with HTMLUnit 2.32 using the following code.
I obtain a "myfile.zip" bigger than the one downloaded through a normal browser (179kb vs 79kb) and which is corrupt.
How one should click an anchor and download a file with HTMLUnit?
WebClient wc = new WebClient(BrowserVersion.CHROME);
final String HREF_SCARICA_CONSOLIDATI = "/web/area-pubblica/quotate?viewId=export_quotate";
final String CONSOBBase = "http://www.consob.it";
HtmlPage page = wc.getPage(CONSOBBase + HREF_SCARICA_CONSOLIDATI);
final String downloadButtonXpath = "//a[contains(@href, 'javascript:downloadAzionariato()')]";
List<HtmlAnchor> downloadAnchors = page.getByXPath(downloadButtonXpath);
HtmlAnchor downloadAnchor = downloadAnchors.get(0);
UnexpectedPage downloadedFile = downloadAnchor.click();
InputStream contentAsStream = downloadedFile.getWebResponse().getContentAsStream();
File destFile = new File("/tmp", "myfile.zip");
Writer out = new OutputStreamWriter(new FileOutputStream(destFile));
IOUtils.copy(contentAsStream, out);
out.close();
While RBRi considerations are interesting, I discovered my code worked with HTMLUnit 2.32 with no modifications but I was writing the file the wrong way!
I used
Writer out = new OutputStreamWriter(new FileOutputStream(destFile));
IOUtils.copy(contentAsStream, out);
while it had to be (no OutputStreamWriter)
FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(destFile);
IOUtils.copy(contentAsStream, out);
