OUT OF BUFFER SPACE for .NET viewstate

[joetanner]

An 'OUT OF BUFFER SPACE' error shuts down my whole app when I try to parse through an aspx page with an abnormally (or normally?) large viewstate stuffed into an input. Here's what it looks like:

<input type="hidden" name="__VIEWSTATE" 
value="dDw3NzQ0ODQ2ODQ ... 11954 characters in total ... DsXdJfP+k" />

If I remove the large value it works fine. Is there a way hpricot could not exit when trying to parse a page like this?

[why]

Yikes! That's a lot of characters in an attribute. I'll see what I can do.

[why]

This now throws an exception in [55]. I will get this to parse correctly by 0.6.

Why, just curious as to the progress on a full fix for this bug? I may be interested in sponsoring/donating for the cause. If you might send me an email and we could discuss it? jondo2010 {at} gmail.com

Thanks.

Hi,

Wouldn't you believe it, the first site I try to scrape using WWW::Mechanize just happens to be generated with .NET and also has one of those hideously long viewstates.

So I'd just like to add my vote for the fix. Happy to help out with a bit of coding too if you need it.

I noticed there's a #define BUFSIZE 16384 in the hpricot_scan.rl file in ext. Any chance that bumping that up to double or quadruple its size will help with the buffer problem?

I've tried editing this but without ragel I don't think I have the infrastructure in place to make a full rebuild of Hpricot.

Some tips on what I need to install to do a full rake would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Mark.

Me again,

I managed to compile a new version of hpricot_scan.bundle and moved it manually to the gem's lib directory. I kept doubling the BUFSIZE until I could parse the pages I needed to. That means I now use #define BUFSIZE 262144.

I have no idea what sort of implications this might have on performace of Hpricot but I haven't run into any problems so far.

I think there needs to be a way to set the buffer size without have to go in, edit, and then recompile. I was trying to scrape a site except I had to switch to rubyful soup because I kept crash because of the buffer.

[why]

Okay, kids. [98] now has a buffer_size method.

 #!ruby
 Hpricot.buffer_size = 262144
 doc = Hpricot(open("http://asp.net/big-viewstate-vomit.html"))

Perhaps I will find the wherewithal to fix the parser to read these massive attributes, but on-the-other-hand I don't want to encourage this disastrous behavior by ASP.NET!! You know?
