Since I’m pressed for time, but didn’t want to wait until putting the dumps on-line, below is a rendering of my gist QCScaper ClientDataSet XML dump results – README.md.
Wishing everybody a great holiday season!
This gist contains two QCScaper XML dumps of the http://qc.embarcadero.com content taken a few days after it came up.
There are four files: two files per dump (both in plain downloaded format as well as formatted with
tidy -xml -utf8for easier comparison, for instance with Beyond Compare).Each file is compressed uzing 7-zip as the original files would each exceed the 100 megabyte gist size limit; please see https://developer.github.com/v3/gists/#truncation
- (tidy)
QCScraper.Anonymous.cds.xml.7zhas the data that you get when you are not logged on atqc.embarcadero.com- (tidy)
QCScraper.Regular.cds.xml.7zwas generated using a fresh new EDN accountThere are slight differences because of the internal QC architecture, which you can for instance see in issue #7788

Hopefully I will find some time later to blog about this in a better way.
