Basic networking: mirror browser requests, but confirm before doing each request
by dedec0 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5MVMH)
Hello,
i have the situation described in this other thread (https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest....php?p=6271483), but you may help me faster.
Using the browser "inspect element", i have made it check what happens when i click on the link i do not want to click (because it will redirect me to bad URLs, sometimes). So, i want to check the URL first, and have means to refuse visiting it at that moment. But i want to have the URL, anyway.
So, with the browser dev. feature on, i clicked on the link, checked everything that happens: a request is made with my session cookies, in a private system, and then it is redirected to an external URL, and then a lot of (not important, now) things happen.
I want to mirror this request with other links present on the private system, but without requesting the redirected URLs. Can you help me doing it?
I am newbie with network inner workings, although i have some background in programming, internet things and HTML code. I may have not mentioned needed things when i described the request debugging i just did. Please ask more information, or give me directions, if something else is needed.
The solution can be in the browser, in javascript (i will need some help), in C (just directions should be fine, although the code needed can be bigger... or not), in Python (i will need some help, possibly). Bash commands/scripts are also welcome - and fun. (:
Thank you
