If your needs to download a file are more simplistic, you can probably use the other methods mentioned on this thread, or the linked thread.My solution is to use chrome's own chrome://downloads/ page to managing download files. The details of DownloadFileRequiringHeadersAndCookies are here. Var cookieContainer = new CookieContainer() ĬookieContainer.Add(new Cookie(cookie.Name, cookie.Value, cookie.Path, cookie.Domain)) Populate the Cookie Container like this: private CookieContainer BuildCookieContainer(IEnumerable cookies) NEED THIS TIMEOUT TO KEEP THE BROWSER OPEN WHILE THE FILE IS DOWNLOADING!Īwait page.WaitForTimeoutAsync(1000 * configs.DownloadDurationEstimateInSeconds) Var cookieContainer = BuildCookieContainer(pageCookies) Īwait DownloadFileRequiringHeadersAndCookies(getUrl, fullPath, cookieContainer, cancellationToken) Īwait page.ClickAsync('button')

Var pageCookies = await page.GetCookiesAsync() Add the cookies to a container for the upcoming Download GET request If (contentType.Contains('application/vnd.ms-excel')) Handle the response with the Excel download Page.Response += async (sender, responseCreatedEventArgs) => Handle multiple responses and process the Download await using (var browser = await Puppeteer.LaunchAsync(new LaunchOptions ))Īwait using (var page = await browser.NewPageAsync()) Once I had that particular response, I had to attach headers and cookies for the remote server to send the downloadable data in the response. In essence, before the button click, I had to process multiple responses and handle a single response with the download. I needed both Headers and Cookies set before the download would start.

I had a more difficult variation of this, using Puppeteer Sharp.
