[HELP] Java HTTP Bot

[OfficialJoe]

Dear A2S,

I saw that there where a few HTTP Bots written in java I also want to build 1 but how to start of with the HTTP Request.
Can I build a easy method for it or is there one? How should I start with building the bot? Is there someone that can give me a start?

Chillivanilli or EdgarT can maybe help you

[EdgarT]

There is no easy way to do this.
You can look into this https://a2s.in/botting/1866-unibot-complete-walkthrough.html
Or if you want to learn about http requests in C# I can find well explained ebook

Basicly I'm using this 2 classes for my Http requests:
Honoki | Java HTTP Wrapper (http://www.honoki.net/2011/07/java-http-wrapper/)

I edited them both a lot to fit my needs, but you can start with it. They have some disadvantages regarding cookies because the cookies are globally saved, not per domain.

I'm still new to screwing with http requests in java but maybe I can help you a little. (or confuse you :P)

This might be difficult to grasp if you don't already understand http requests and what they are made of. You will need some way of viewing the http requests that are being sent before you can send one in java. Download Fiddler, or some tool, or use a network analyzer in your browser. Google Chrome has one built in if you look at the Network tab of inspect element. I use an add-on for Firefox called HttpFox. I like the way it's organized. :P

I don't know how much you understand about http at the moment so here are some posts from atheus that may help you understand. (or confuse you :confused2:)
HTTP Requests (http://www.webdevtown.com/2015/04/http-very-basics.html) and GET and POST (http://www.webdevtown.com/2015/04/get-and-post-fundamentals.html)

The best way to learn is probably just to screw around with it yourself. Look at http requests with Google Chrome(inspect element -> network) and try to understand how they are structured and what everything means. Once you think you understand HTTP requests you might be able to start using java to send these yourself.

Here's a simple example on how you would send an http request in java and catch a response:

This is a very simple example and doesn't involve sending any http headers along with it.

It might be annoying since you probably don't understand what a URLConnection object is or a BufferedReader but you just need to screw around with it and this will become very easy for you.

I hope I didn't confuse you haha :P

I stole it from the java documentation https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/networking/urls/readingWriting.html

But how would you invoke clicking buttons? Example your warofclicks bot.

You just need a GUI and the bot needs to be run as a Thread. So if you click the start button in the GUI, the thread is started, if you click the stop button the thread is interrupted.

Oke what did you use for GUI? Cause I liked that style just simple java style. But I mean I mean click buttons on the website for example on yout WOC bot clicking ads etc

I'm using the build in GUI builder of eclipse. I think you need to read a lot of what http requests are and what they consist of. Then you should install an addon like http headers or use a program like fiddler to capture http request. Then you can try to build your own http request, for example to start a search on google.

You use the build in gui builder in eclipse? There are different styles which you can use and there are also different gui builder out there with different styles. Maybe you have another default style

Did you select some of this? http://i.imgur.com/7WHM3PY.png
It only shows you the selected style, but doesnt show it when you export your project.

Google about LookAndFeel in java and how to set different LookAndFeels
