Hello All,
I currently have an inline frame directed to an internal site, that displays a web page with a couple of tables on it after the Session starts, and the IDP SSO completes its general Auth routine.
I figured there would be a property for the inline frame like: "Props.PageSource" so I can extract the HTML code from the inline browser. That does not seem to be the case, and I am looking for a solution to extract that data.
Any ideas on what I should try?

Web browsers don't allow you to do this cross-domain. If you want to 'scrape' a website, you need to authenticate to it and retrieve it programmatically using something like `system.net.httpClient`. The inline frame component is purely a convenience for the frontend.

It is natural for a programmer to think this way, but malware authors do too. This capability would enable a malicious website to offer an iframe to some other site as if it were that site, and gain access to everything the user does.
Don't even _ **wish** _ for this.

Thank you both for the quick reply!
The reason I shied away from the system.net.httpClient, was I am having a rough time passing the session SSO credentials managed by the SAML IDP to gain access to the internal site. The inline frame was doing some automagic I don't quite understand yet. But I will study the httpClient calls further.
Have a good weekend.
