If I open the link: https://dibbs2.bsm.dla.mil/Downloads/RFQ/Archive/ca210731.zip
This link shows the window and I need to press the OK button and it downloads the file.
The alert is not from the browser, it is from the page itself.
But When I tried the script:
from io import BytesIO
from zipfile import ZipFile
import requests
def get_zip(file_url):
url = requests.get(file_url)
zipfile = ZipFile(BytesIO(url.content))
zipfile.extractall("")
file_link ='https://dibbs2.bsm.dla.mil/Downloads/RFQ/Archive/ca210731.zip'
get_zip(file_link)
This throws the error:
zipfile.BadZipFile: File is not a zip file
And when I tried:
import requests
url = r'https://dibbs2.bsm.dla.mil/Downloads/RFQ/Archive/ca210731.zip'
output = r'downloadedfile.zip'
r = requests.get(url)
with open(output, 'wb') as f:
f.write(r.content)
This downloads the content of the page showing the OK button. Any idea how to solve this:, the link downloads the zip file.
I believe you are accepting answer using selenium, Here's what you can do using selenium :
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.firefox.options import Options
profile = webdriver.FirefoxProfile()
profile.set_preference("browser.download.folderList",1)
# 0 for desktop
# 1 for default download folder
# 2 for specific folder
# You can specify directory by using profile.set_preference("browser.download.dir","<>")
profile.set_preference("browser.helperApps.neverAsk.saveToDisk", "application/octet-stream")
profile.set_preference("browser.helperApps.alwaysAsk.force", False);
# If you don't have some download manager then you can remove these
profile.set_preference("browser.download.manager.showWhenStarting",False)
profile.set_preference("browser.download.manager.useWindow", False);
profile.set_preference("browser.download.manager.focusWhenStarting", False);
profile.set_preference("browser.download.manager.alertOnEXEOpen", False);
profile.set_preference("browser.download.manager.showAlertOnComplete", False);
driver=webdriver.Firefox(firefox_profile=profile,executable_path="<>")
driver.get("https://dibbs2.bsm.dla.mil/Downloads/RFQ/Archive/ca210731.zip")
driver.find_element_by_id("butAgree").click()
Here we are setting some profiles to disable pop out, download dialog.
It is working perfectly fine in latest version of Firefox and 3.141.0 version of selenium
