Firefox instead of Ie
Posted: Wed Oct 13, 2010 09:28 AM

Hi ,
Is it possible to modify this function in order to use Firefox

FUNCTION NAVIGATE( cUrl )
LOCAL oIe

oIe = CREATEOBJECT( "InternetExplorer.Application" )

oIe:Navigate( cUrl )

It seems Firefox does not support ActiveX out of the box.
Check here for an ActiveX control for Firefox.

No, I have not tried it. Once installed (registered) it is supposed to work the same way IE works.

Re: Firefox instead of Ie PLEASE TEST IT

Please test directly at this address

http://217.57.213.130:8168

to see by yourself the problem.

For instance clicking on
Administration
Phone on the right vertical menu

It asks authentication

You have to digit "admin" as user ad "ip110" as password

My problem is:
1) To use Internet Explorer
2) To automate authentication

From my application now I use this

FUNCTION NAVIGATE( cUrl, nMilli )
DEFAULT nMilli := 100

IF oIe = NIL
   oIe := CREATEOBJECT( "InternetExplorer.Application" )
   SETFOREGROUNDWINDOW( oIe:hWnd )
ENDIF

oIe:Navigate( cUrl )

WHILE oIe:Busy
    SYSREFRESH()
ENDDO
sleep( nMilli )

RETURN NIL

Probably the answer is in WinHttp

I've searched over the web and seems that is non possible to use Firefox as we are used with Ie. :(

Massimo,
probably the solution to automate pre-autentication using Ie is here.
