How to see final html when http requesting - html

I call a http request to get the html of a url. The same also happens, for example, when doing "view source" in Firefox. As you know, the html is different than the final html of the site as it is seen in the browser itself.
Is there a way to call the http request of a url and "do something" so I will have the final "version" of the html including everything that is there when the site ends to load?
The Firefox was an example, I meant calling a http request with a http client, using Java for example. I call a http request to get the html but the html is the "before" state.
Thanks

See HTML response in chrome network

Hello when I send my html page with google chrome I can't see the path in the link Bar Though I use the method get and when I open the network angle I can't find the query request either enter image description here
On the first view is see that your request goes again a html page. Then you will get as response the html. But i suggest you will send some data. Then you have to add in every form element a name selector. Like <input name="username" ...>.
Then you need a endpoint which can handle your request. A HTML side cant do that. You need a serverside endpoint. Like api.php etc.

Google Chrome show ajax response

I am using Google Chrome Developer Tools to try to see the response of some AJAX url's.
The problem is that when I click on the NETWORK TAB, then on the link, then on RESPONSE, I see this text : "THIS REQUEST HAS NO RESPONSE DATA AVAILABLE".
I have been using FIREBUG and I am 100% sure there is a response from that page.
Can somebody help with this ?
Thank you !
You can try manually checking if there's a response or not
So, generally when dealing with ajax, in most cases we use the POST, You can create a 'same structured' page to handle same input/response but using Get method and print the output data as normal.
This way you can see if there's any response/errors in your script very easily

Submit a "pure" HTTP request from HTML page

I need to send the following HTTP request to my REST server from an HTML page to retrieve another page. How to do that using javascript or forms or links or whatever ?
Note that the HTTP request body must contain plain text with no key/value pairs as a form usually does.
PUT /somerequest HTTP/1.1
Host: www.myhost.com
Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml
Payload of the request to be read by the server script.
The script will return a HTML content to my browser.
Thanks !
You could use jQuery?

I'm sure you will find what you want there.
And if you don't look at a lower layer: XMLHttpRequest

Chrome extension, replace HTML in response code before browser displays it

i wonder if there is some way to do something like that:
If im on a specific site i want that some of javascript files to be loaded directly from my computer (f.e. file:///c:/test.js), not from the server.
For that i was thinking if there is a possibility to make an extension which could change HTML code in a response which browser gets right before displaying it. So whole process should look like that:
request is made
browser gets response from server
#response is changed# - this is the part when extension comes in
browser parse changed response and display page with that new response.
It doesnt even have to be a Chrome extension anyway. It should just do the job described above. It can block original file and serve another one (DNS/proxy?) or filter whole HTTP traffic in my computer and replace specific code to another one of matched response.
You can use the WebRequest API to achieve that. For example, you can add a onBeforeRequest listener and redirect some requests:
chrome.webRequest.onBeforeRequest.addListener(function(details)
{
var responseData = "<div>Some text</div>"
return {redirectUrl: "data:text/html," + encodeURIComponent(responseData)};
}, {urls: ["https://www.google.com/"]}, ["blocking"]);
This will display a <div> element with the text "some text" instead of the Google homepage. Note that you can only redirect to URLs that the web server itself is allowed to redirect to. This means that redirecting to file:/// URLs is not possible, and you can only redirect to files inside your extension if these are web accessible. data: and http: URLs work fine however.
In Windows you can use the Proxomitron (proxomitron.info) which is a local proxy that can intercept any page or file being loading into your browser and change it using regular expressions (no DOM parsing) however you want, before it is rendered by the browser.

How to get result back from CGI(C) to the same HTML page?

Can I display the result which is processed in the CGI(using C) on the same html page, from where the CGI is invoked?

No, HTTP does not work that way.
You would have to make a asyncronious request (using JavaScript, this is commonly known as AJAX) instead.
In a nutshell, you can spawn a background HTTP request to your CGI process, instead of posting the browser to it in the main HTTP request.
