I get the error that there is a failure in the download of the videos.

On the ILIAS Forum they suggested to use a goto-link. Don't know how this integrates though...

FliegendeWurst commented 3 years ago

The link to the lectures redirects to the correct page. That would automatically work with future updates too.

What is the cmdNode parameter even?

FliegendeWurst commented 3 years ago

It's mentioned in their security documentation:

Passing routing information to find out which GUI-classes should be executed to build a view or perform some action via $_GET["baseClass"], $_GET["cmdClass"] and $_GET["cmdNode"].

That means the parameter value may change when the system is updated. We shouldn't hardcode these values.

ILIAS has a SOAP interface, maybe that is usable instead of webcrawling (that's what is used, right?).

There is also savon for code generation from WSDL.

FliegendeWurst commented 3 years ago

I tried savon, but it didn't really work on the WSDL.

What about gSOAP with a C FFI?
