How can I get special characters with Web Client in WP? - html

I want to make dynamic message grid in my application's mainpage and I am getting it from my domain's html file. For example;
html
body
----Böşç Hello----
/body
/html
(I did not write <> tags for understanding.)
and I am getting them with my WebClient. But it is not getting this words "ö,ş,ç" correctly.
How can I do it? or have you any other solution?
Thanks.

Have you tried tweaking the encoding?
WebClient client = new WebClient ();
client.Encoding = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8;

Does the Win 10 UWP EmailMessage API support having an HTML body?

I have tried the following code to send an email from an Universal Windows Platform app. It works fine when I use EmailMessageBodyKind::PlainText. However, as indicated in the code below, EmailMessageBodyKind::Html seems to launch the email client with no content. Does anyone know what else needs to be set to get this to work - the documentation is sparse 8 (
using namespace Windows::Storage::Streams;
using namespace Windows::ApplicationModel::Email;
using namespace Windows::Security::Cryptography;
auto bin = CryptographicBuffer::ConvertStringToBinary(
L"<html><body>this <b>is</b> text</body></html>",
BinaryStringEncoding::Utf16LE);
auto memStream = ref new InMemoryRandomAccessStream();
concurrency::create_task(memStream->WriteAsync(bin)).then(
[memStream](unsigned)
{
auto email = ref new EmailMessage();
email->To->Append(ref new EmailRecipient(L"test#gmail.com"));
email->Subject = L"Email Report";
auto randomAccessStreamReference = RandomAccessStreamReference::CreateFromStream(memStream);
email->SetBodyStream(EmailMessageBodyKind::Html, randomAccessStreamReference);
EmailManager::ShowComposeNewEmailAsync(email);
}
);
Well, I got some bad news for you.
It is not possible to do so using EmailManager.ShowComposeNewEmailAsync
Regarding using SetBodyStream with EmailMessageBodyKind.Html, we have this from MSDN forum:
Currently, the EmailMessageBodyKind.Html won't work for create a new
HTML e-mail and there is no other way as a workaround, I've checked
the internal resource, this API is used for populating messages from
App server and save e-mail message into local folder.
The thing is: EmailManager.ShowComposeNewEmailAsync uses mailto to send the message and, as stated in some other question already answered here:
Section 2 of RFC 2368 says that the body field is supposed to be in
text/plain format, so you can't do HTML.
However even if you use plain text it's possible that some modern mail
clients would render the resulting link as a clickable link anyway,
though.
That being said, you're relying on the mail client to render that HTML for you.
I've tested this using Windows 10 Mail Client, Gmail and Outlook (both the later on a web browser), and all of them failed to render a simple HTML <b> tag on the mail body, showing it as plain text instead.
Now, for the alternatives (from that same MSDN forum thread):
Note that if I use the ShareDataContract (DataTransferManager), I am
able to set the HTML in the request and it will appear in the email
body if the user chooses to share via Mail. However I would like to
skip the Share UI and go directly with composing an email with
recipient already populated, HTML body, and image attachments.
One alternative is to persist the HTML body to a file and then include
that file as an additional attachment, however that is not ideal
The DataTransferManager successfully formatted the HTML message. Here's a small sample of how your sample code would look like, adapted from MSDN:
void YourView::ShareHtml()
{
DataTransferManager^ dataTransferManager = DataTransferManager::GetForCurrentView();
auto dataRequestedToken = dataTransferManager->DataRequested +=
ref new TypedEventHandler<DataTransferManager^, DataRequestedEventArgs^>(
this, &YourView::OnShareHtml);
DataTransferManager::ShowShareUI();
}
void YourView::OnShareHtml(DataTransferManager^ sender, DataRequestedEventArgs^ e)
{
DataRequest^ request = e->Request;
request->Data->Properties->Title = "Email Report";
String^ html = L"<html><body>this <b>is</b> text</body></html>";
String^ htmlFormat = HtmlFormatHelper::CreateHtmlFormat(html);
request->Data->SetHtmlFormat(htmlFormat);
}
The limitations of this approach are:
You cannot force the user to select e-mail as the sharing option
You cannot previously specify the mail recipient.

How to redirect to a webpage that accepts post requests?

I am working on a project where I need to scrap data in JSOUP and the show as HTML in my webpage and on clicking view more I am forwarding to the scrapped URL, issue is where GET url's are working fine but POST request for aspx are not working as it expects some __EVENTVALIDATION, etc,.. as input in form.
The webpage is kepler.sos.ca.gov, if you click on Corporation Name then enter ESCROW, then submit, some results will come up, which I am able to do in JSOUP, but unable to redirect using javascript:__doPostBack('ctl00$content_placeholder_body$SearchResults1$GridView_SearchResults_Corp','DetailCorp$0').
Please advice.
There is a answer over here : unable to get results from jsoup while giving post request
`Connection.Response response = Jsoup.connect(url)
.method(Connection.Method.GET)
.execute();
Document responseDocument = response.parse();
Map<String, String> loginCookies = response.cookies();
Element eventValidation = responseDocument.select("input[name=__EVENTVALIDATION]").first();
String validationKey = eventValidation.attr("value");
Element viewState = responseDocument.select("input[name=__VIEWSTATE]").first();
String viewStateKey = viewState.attr("value");
response = Jsoup.connect(url)
.cookies(loginCookies)
.data("__EVENTTARGET", "")
.data("__EVENTARGUMENT", "")
.data("__LASTFOCUS", "")
.data("__VIEWSTATE", viewStateKey)
.data("__VIEWSTATEENCRYPTED", "")
.data("__EVENTVALIDATION", validationKey)
.data("ctl00$content_placeholder_body$BusinessSearch1$TextBox_NameSearch", "aaa") // <- search
.data("ctl00$content_placeholder_body$BusinessSearch1$RadioButtonList_SearchType", "Corporation Name")
.data("ctl00$content_placeholder_body$BusinessSearch1$Button_Search", "Search")
.method(Connection.Method.POST)
.followRedirects(true)
.execute();
Document document = response.parse(); //search results
System.out.println(document);`
JSoup is not a browser. It does not interpret JavaScript and you can't fire a POST request through a JavaScript link.
JSoup is however quite capable doing POST requests. To use JSoup here, you need to figure out how the actual request is built by the JavaScript. You then can run the same algorithm coded in Java and create the link and do the POST request.
An easier way of achieving what you want is maybe a switch in technology. You can use selenium for example, which allows to "remote control" a real browser, which should have no problem running the JavaScript of that page.

Is it possible to embed a HTML into a PDF?

I like to embed a HTML site into a PDF document. Are there any libraries or PDF creator that make that possible?
Update:
I am not looking for ways to convert a HTML to PDF. I actually want to use the HMTL as it is inside the PDF. So I am looking for something like iframe for PDF.
There are a few out there, depends if you need to build using PHP or another language. I have used MPDF before: http://www.mpdf1.com/mpdf/
Yes, its possible using xmlworker5.4.1.jar. The XML worker object allows you to embed html in your document. xmlString object below is your HTML content as HTMLWorker is deprecated so use XMLWorker only.
XMLWorkerHelper worker = XMLWorkerHelper.getInstance();
String currentLine = "";
StringBuffer xmlString = new StringBuffer();
xmlString.append("<html><body>");
String str = htmlPages[i];
xmlString.append(htmlPages[i]);
xmlString.append("</body></html>");
worker.parseXHtml(pdfWriter, pdfDocument, new StringReader(xmlString.toString()));
Inorder to incorporate fonts mentioned in font face tag u need to register fonts using
FontFanctory.redisterDirectory("path of font files");
because itext doesnt scan system for fonts. u need to register it yourself this way

Update HTML title to contain access code

I am trying to set up OAuth2.0 for an iPhone app I'm working on.
I have "http://www.mywebsite.com/success" set up as my RedirectURI to which the service I am working with appends a response code and state. My response becomes "http://www.mywebsite.com/success?code=ftlZcvFZ3RACFqzgxHypJw637jObmAoHowSuyxeM&state=".
The example I am following has me trying to access this code by the following:
[webView stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString:#"document.title"];
Right now my page title is static and is always just Success, while the example expects it to include the code like: "Success ftlZcvFZ3RACFqzgxHypJw637jObmAoHowSuyxeM".
How do I modify my html to have the title reflect this?
Thanks!
You can use the sever-side language PHP. It's easy to learn.

Attachment + Email + HTML + Play Framework

I'm using play framework in this project and I'm trying to send an E-mail with a Logo attached but I want to show this logo as part of my HTML code!
My Mailer:
EmailAttachment attachment = new EmailAttachment();
attachment.setDescription("Logo");
attachment.setName("logoMail.jpg");
attachment.setPath(Play.getFile("/public/images/email/logoMail.jpg").getPath());
addAttachment(attachment);
My HTML
The e-mail is sent, my Logo is attached there, but the image is never showed as a background on my DIV.
What am I doing wrong?
Thank you very much!
It depends on the e-mail client you are using to read your test e-mail. Most of them ignore or remove the background-image css property.
Take a look at the following:
http://www.email-standards.org/
http://www.campaignmonitor.com/design-guidelines/
I've been looking into embedding images into emails using MVC templates, and I think at the moment it's not supported.
As far as I can see, in order to use embedded images, the image attachment needs to have a Content-ID header on it. Attaching the image using addAttachment generates an attachment without this header.
The underlying email framework, apache commons email, allows you to embed images using the HtmlEmail.embed method, and there is an example of this in the Play documentation, but only when using Commons Email directly. addAttachment() will add an ordinary attachment, not an embedded one.
The problem is that HtmlEmail.embed returns the content id for the embedded image. The first problem is that there would need to be a mechanism for passing that content id forward into the template, so that you could reference it in the relevant link.
The second problem is that the way the Mailer.send() method is coded, the email itself is not created until after the template is rendered, and the result of attempting to render an html body is used to decide whether to create an HtmlEmail or a SimpleEmail. This method would need to be re-written to decide the type of email before rendering the template, and, if it was html, to create the HtmlEmail and attach the embedded images prior to rendering the template, so that it could pass the content ids to the renderer.
It certainly isn't impossible to make this change, and I might attempt it if I can find the time on my current project.
The solution could be to render HTML content manually and then put it into email. This code worked for me:
public static String test() throws EmailException, MalformedURLException {
HtmlEmail email = new HtmlEmail();
email.setHostName("smtp.server.com");
email.setAuthentication("username", "pwd");
email.setSubject("subject");
email.addTo("to#example.com");
email.setFrom("from#example.com");
URL url = new URL("https://example.com/image.png");
String cid = email.embed(url, "IMG1");
Template templateHtml = TemplateLoader.load("/Mails/test.html");
final Map<String, Object> templateHtmlBinding = new HashMap<String, Object>();
templateHtmlBinding.put("cid", cid);
String body = templateHtml.render(templateHtmlBinding);
email.setHtmlMsg(body);
return email.send();
}
I'm a bit late with my answer, but it is possible and integrates nicely with the MVC-Email tutorial. Assuming your mailer class is also notifiers.Mails, use this as a html template:
%{
String logoSrc = notifiers.Mails.getEmbedddedSrc("public/images/logo.png", "cool logo");
}%
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
Look at this cool image! <br>
<img src="${logoSrc}">
<br>
Amazing, no?
</body>
</html>
