Feat: added a new parameter -js to javascript injection in headless

Open michael2to3 opened this issue 10 months ago • 7 comments

Now the -js and --javascript-inject options execute code in the session browser without a head to change, for example, "local storage` or any other scripts Example: index.html

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>

<head>
	<title>check</title>
</head>

<body>
	<h1>check</h1>
	<script>
		const check = () => {
			const h1 = document.querySelector('h1')
			h1.innerText += JSON.stringify(window.localStorage);
			h1.innerHTML += '<br />';
		}
		check();
		setInterval(() => {
			check();
		}, 1000);

	</script>
</body>

</html>

t.js tt.js ttt.js

() => window.localStorage.setItem("a", "boba") // t.js
() => window.localStorage.setItem("ab", "oba") // tt.js
() => window.localStorage.setItem("abo", "ba") // ttt.js
echo 'http://127.0.0.1:8888/' | ./httpx -sid 15 -js "$(cat ./t.js)" -ss -srd ./test -js "$(cat ./tt.js)" --javascript-inject $(cat tt.js)

If the JavaScript is executed only after waitStable or domStable, the user won't have the ability to control the state before the DOM is fully loaded, which is sometimes necessary. If the user needs to execute code specifically after the DOM is loaded, they can choose the event that suits their needs best. For instance, in the case of DOM stability, window.onload = () => {...} seems appropriate.

Thus, I suggest executing eval immediately after navigation. This approach will provide more flexibility for the user

Can you give an example use case for that?

Looks like we need to update the flag description, specifically by removing the phrase "after DOM content loaded".

After reviewing the a7e821c changes, EvalJavascript is still being invoked inside ScreenshotWithBody method, which relies on the -ss/-screenshot flag. it really should be independent of that.

In my case, the website loaded JavaScript immediately and redirected to the registration page if it didn’t find specific variables in localStorage. Executing JavaScript right away allowed me to set those variables before the check.

I’ve updated the flag description as suggested – apologies for missing that earlier.

The dependency of -jsc on -ss is intentional since httpx only executes JavaScript in headless mode, enabled by the -ss option. Without it, JavaScript execution won’t occur.

If I’m mistaken and httpx can run JavaScript without -ss, please let me know, and I’ll adjust the code.

+1 makes sense.

Thoughts on this, @Mzack9999?
