Hi everyone,

I'm using Selenium Grid, I want to download a file and read it from my script, I can download the file in the remote machine, but I can't access the file without accessing the machine, what I'm using right now is browsermob-proxy but I'd prefer a simpler way.

Thanks

Felix,

Mark wrote up a blog post which talks about why you shouldn't be doing downloading of files. Take a look at his blog post : ardesco.lazerycode.com/index.php/2012/07/how-to-download-files-with-selenium-and-why-you-shouldnt/


Thanks and Regards
