HTMLDocument webAddress returns error webAddress not found

Aspose.HTML Product Family
1

HTMLDocument document = new HTMLDocument(webAddress); returns webaddress not found, but is valid address:

the code I tried:

Aspose.Html.License license = new Aspose.Html.License();
try
{
Aspose.Html.License htmlLicense = new Aspose.Html.License();
//license.SetLicense(“***.lic");
htmlLicense.SetLicense(".lic”);

  Console.WriteLine("License set successfully.");

}
catch (Exception e)
{
Console.WriteLine("\nThere was an error setting the license: " + e.Message);
}

try //try String option 1
{
string webAddress = “https://www.google.com/”;
HTMLDocument document0 = new HTMLDocument(webAddress);
}
catch
(Exception e)
{
Console.WriteLine(e.Message);
}
try
{
string webAddress = “https://www.google.com/”;

  using (var document = new HTMLDocument(webAddress))
  {
      
      Console.WriteLine(document.DocumentElement.OuterHTML);
  }

}
catch(Exception e)
{
Console.WriteLine(e.Message);
} //tryString optin 2

try
{
string webAddress = “https://www.google.com/”;
Url webAdressURL = new Url(webAddress);

  HTMLDocument document0 = new HTMLDocument(webAdressURL);

}
catch
(Exception e)
{
Console.WriteLine(e.Message);
} // try url option 1
try
{
string webAddress = “https://www.google.com/”;
Url webAdressURL = new Url(webAddress);

  using (var document = new HTMLDocument(webAdressURL))
  {
      // Write the document content to the output stream
      Console.WriteLine(document.DocumentElement.OuterHTML);
  }

}
catch (Exception e)
{
Console.WriteLine(e.Message);
} // try url option 2

It seems you are encountering an issue with loading an HTML document from a web address using Aspose.HTML. The error message “webAddress not found” typically indicates that the URL you are trying to access is either incorrect or unreachable at the moment.

Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot and resolve this issue:

  1. Check the URL: Ensure that the URL you are using is correct and accessible. You can try opening the URL in a web browser to confirm that it is reachable.

  2. Network Issues: Sometimes, network issues can prevent access to certain URLs. Make sure your internet connection is stable and that there are no firewall or proxy settings blocking the request.

  3. Use the Correct Constructor: When creating an HTMLDocument from a URL, ensure you are using the correct constructor. You can create an HTMLDocument using a Url instance, as shown in the following example:

    string webAddress = "https://www.google.com/";
Url webAddressURL = new Url(webAddress);
HTMLDocument document = new HTMLDocument(webAddressURL);

  4. Error Handling: Implement error handling to catch specific exceptions. This can help you identify the exact issue. For example, if the URL is unreachable, you might receive a DOMException with a specialized code indicating a network error.

  5. Review Documentation: For more detailed guidance on loading HTML documents from URLs, you can refer to the official documentation, which provides examples and explanations on how to handle such scenarios effectively.

If you continue to experience issues, consider checking the Aspose forums for similar problems or posting your specific error message for further assistance.

We also faced an exception using below code:

Aspose.Html.Url url = new Aspose.Html.Url("https://google.com/");

// Initialize PdfSaveOptions 
var options = new Aspose.Html.Saving.PdfSaveOptions();

// Convert the HTML code to PDF
Aspose.Html.Converters.Converter.ConvertHTML(url, options, dataDir + @"URLtoPDF.pdf");

@Ksamples

We tested with the latest version of the API in our environment and could not notice any issues. Can you please share a sample console application in .zip format with us so that we can execute it in our environment to replicate the issue and address it accordingly?

14

Unfortunatly our organization will not allow us to foward source code outside our organization. Is their another way to do this?

15

here is the accii version of the code

try
{
string strUrl = “https://www.google.com”;
Url ul = new Url(strUrl);

 using (var document = new HTMLDocument(ul))
 {
     var html = document.DocumentElement.OuterHTML;

     // Write the document content to the output stream
     Console.WriteLine(html);
 }

}
catch(Exception e)
{
Console.WriteLine(e.Message);
}

We are still unable to replicate the issue in our environment using the same code snippet that you shared with 25.1 version of the API. Can you please share your environment details where you are facing this issue? Are you still facing the same error? Please make sure that your application is able to access the system network as this seems more like an environment related issue.
