Getting the (rendered) source in headless mode

[Arik]

Hi.

  I run something like

chrome --headless --disable-gpu --enable-logging --dump-dom https://my.url/

  I get an html file, which is supposed to contain the source code the browser will be working on. However, when I open a chrome window, visit that site and view the source code, I see something different. Maybe some Javascript is changing things - but that's supposed to be taken care by the headless mode (indeed, if I fetch the file using curl or something like that, I get a yet different file. Evidently the headless chrome executes the JS, but maybe not all of it. Or may it be something other than JS that's changing things?)

  How can I convince the headless chrome to give me the real (final) version that the user of the windowed chrome will see?

Hi,

Is there any way of getting the raw HTML page source received from the server? Not the once after running the scripts on the page.

Best,

Alex

We recommend using Puppeteer for things like that, e.g. Page.waitForResponse() or Page.setRequestInterception() should get you there.

We don't support any non-trivial use cases with bare command line interface -- it's only retained for compatibility at this point and will not see additional features added.

Best regards,

Andrey.
