Certificates

[massradius]

Hi, One of the websites I want to scrape requires a certificate. I have it in IE. Is it possible to import that certificate in to Helium Scrapper?

Hi,

I'm not sure what kind of certificate you are talking about. How did you add this certificate to Internet Explorer?

It was issued by another company.

Under the general tab it states the cert is intended for the following purposes:

Ensures software came from software publisher
Protects software from alteration after publication
Proves your identity to a remote computer
Protects e-mail messages
2.16.840.1.113733.1.7.23.2

At this point I think I'm locked in to IE so this likely won't work.

I'm still not sure which kind of certificate is this. Where did you get that text from? Seems like an add-on. If it's some third party application that hooks into Internet Explorer then is likely not possible. Helium Scraper uses the same component as Internet Explorer so many IE settings will automatically apply to HS as well. But if this is not happening out of the box then I don't thing there is much else that can be done.
