Initialize a headless browser:
browser = Ronin::Web::Browser.new
# ...
browser.quit
Initialize a visible browser:
browser = Ronin::Web::Browser.new(visible: true)
# ...
browser.quit
Opening a temporary browser and automatically quitting:
Ronin::Web::Browser.open do |browser|
# ...
end
Initializing the browser with a proxy:
browser = Ronin::Web::Browser.new(proxy: "http://proxy.example.com:8080")
# ...
Go to and screenshot a webpage:
Ronin::Web::Browser.open do |browser|
browser.go_to("https://google.com")
browser.screenshot(path: "google.png")
end
Intercept all requests:
browser = Ronin::Web::Browser.new
browser.every_request do |request|
puts "> #{request.method} #{request.url}"
end
browser.go_to("https://twitter.com/login")
Intercept all responses for all requests:
browser = Ronin::Web::Browser.new
browser.every_response do |response,request|
puts "> #{request.method} #{request.url}"
puts "< HTTP #{response.status}"
response.headers.each do |name,value|
puts "< #{name}: #{value}"
end
puts response.body
end
browser.go_to("https://twitter.com/login")
Evaluate JavaScript within the current page:
browser = Ronin::Web::Browser.new
browser.goto('https://github.com')
browser.eval_js('document.cookie')
# => "..."
Load a JavaScript file into the current page as a <script>
tag:
browser.load_js(url: 'https://.../file.js')
Load JavaScript code into the current page as a <script>
tag:
browser.load_js(content: '...')
Inject JavaScript code into every page:
browser.inject_js('...')
