Cyotek Forums

HI Guys.

I have a site of the type mentioned above. The link is https://sites.google.com/a/dunlopsystems.com/test/

In order to access the site you need an appropriate username and password. EG and password.

I have added a username and password for the above url in the passwords section but this doesnt make any difference

Ive entered the site details and clicked copy website but all i get is 0 bytes copied.

any help is greatly appreciated. This is an intranet ive built and i really need an offline copy/backup.

Thanks.

Hello,

Welcome to the forums! Ah problems logging into websites. Next to "won't copy anything", my favourite type of post!  :'(

There's two different things we need to look at - firstly, when you say you're logging in, is this actually true, or is the login failing. Have you tried using the Test URI tool and then looking at the response (typically after logging in you will get a 302 "Found" response to redirect to another page), or the response data will say login failed.

Also, specifically in regards to form posting, I have just released a new update to WebCopy. One of the fixes this build has specifically relates to form posting - previous versions of WebCopy would automatically cancel the crawl if a POST failed, which is fair enough. What it didn't do though, is tell you WHY it had failed. It might be worth grabbing the latest build and trying again - if it is a problem with posting the form, at least this time you'll get some information back.

The second thing to look at would be the website itself. WebCopy can only copy what it "sees", and it can't see JavaScript. (Well, it can see it, it just can't process it.) If Google Sites is anything like WIX, then I'm afraid WebCopy will be utterly useless - I had a similar support request recently and it turns out the WIX site was fully generated using JavaScript and so WebCopy couldn't do a thing as it cannot process JavaScript.
