Proxy Magnet

VPN is considered a more advanced technology for anonymization on the Internet. The main (but not the only) difference between VPN is the encryption of all traffic. But this decreases the connection speed and also increases the response time of the remote server. A proxy works slightly faster in this respect.

If you're working with Spring Boot in Java and need to parse JSON with multiple attachments, you might be dealing with a scenario involving HTTP requests with JSON payload and file attachments. In this case, you can use @RequestPart in your controller method to handle JSON and multipart requests.

Here's a basic example

Create a DTO (Data Transfer Object) class:

public class RequestDto {
    private String jsonData;
    private MultipartFile file1;
    private MultipartFile file2;

    // getters and setters
}

Create a controller with a method to handle the request:

import org.springframework.http.ResponseEntity;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.PostMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestPart;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RestController;
import org.springframework.web.multipart.MultipartFile;

@RestController
@RequestMapping("/api")
public class ApiController {

    @PostMapping("/processRequest")
    public ResponseEntity processRequest(@RequestPart("requestDto") RequestDto requestDto,
                                                @RequestPart("file1") MultipartFile file1,
                                                @RequestPart("file2") MultipartFile file2) {
        // Process JSON data in requestDto and handle file attachments
        // ...

        return ResponseEntity.ok("Request processed successfully");
    }
}

3. Send a multipart request with JSON and attachments:

Using tools like Postman or curl, you can send a multipart request. Here's an example using Postman:

• Set the request type to POST.
• Set the URL to http://localhost:8080/api/processRequest.
• Under the "Body" tab, select "form-data".
• Add three key-value pairs:
  • Key: requestDto, Value: {"jsonData": "your_json_data"}
  • Key: file1, Value: select a file
  • Key: file2, Value: select another file

Make sure you have the appropriate dependencies in your project for handling multipart requests. If you're using Maven, you can include the following dependency in your pom.xml:

    org.springframework.boot
    spring-boot-starter-web

Adjust the example based on your specific use case and the structure of your JSON data. The key point is to use @RequestPart to handle both JSON and file attachments in the same request.

To optimize the performance of Selenium with Chrome and Chromedriver, you can consider several strategies:

Latest Versions:
Ensure that you are using the latest version of Chrome and Chromedriver. They are frequently updated to include performance improvements and bug fixes.

Chromedriver Version Compatibility:
Make sure that the version of Chromedriver you are using is compatible with the version of Chrome installed on your machine. Mismatched versions may lead to unexpected behavior.

Headless Mode:
If you don't need to see the browser window during automation, consider running Chrome in headless mode. Headless mode can significantly improve the speed of browser automation.

chrome_options.add_argument('--headless')

Chrome Options:
Experiment with different Chrome options to see how they affect performance. For example, you can set options related to GPU usage, image loading, and more.

chrome_options.add_argument('--disable-gpu')
chrome_options.add_argument('--blink-settings=imagesEnabled=false')

Page Loading Strategy:
Adjust the page loading strategy. For example, you can set pageLoadStrategy to 'eager' or 'none' if it fits your use case.

chrome_options.add_argument('--pageLoadStrategy=eager')

Timeouts:
Adjust timeouts appropriately. For example, setting script timeouts or implicit waits can help to avoid unnecessary waiting times.

driver.set_script_timeout(10)
driver.implicitly_wait(5)

Parallel Execution:
Consider parallel execution of tests. Running tests in parallel can significantly reduce overall execution time.

Browser Window Size:
Set a specific window size to avoid unnecessary rendering.

chrome_options.add_argument('window-size=1920x1080')

Disable Extensions:
Disable unnecessary Chrome extensions during testing.

chrome_options.add_argument('--disable-extensions')

Logging:
Enable logging to identify any issues or bottlenecks.

service_args = ['--verbose', '--log-path=/path/to/chromedriver.log']
service = ChromeService(executable_path='/path/to/chromedriver', service_args=service_args)

Regular Windows functionality has a minimum of settings for proxies. Therefore, it is recommended to use third-party applications for this purpose. For example, Proxy Switcher or Proxifier. There you can not only set the server characteristics but also, for example, create a folder for packets of traffic that are transmitted through the local network.

It means that now all the traffic is sent to a VPN server (which can be an ordinary proxy). This is a kind of warning that the remote server can now collect data. Therefore, you should use only well-tested VPN services.
