I am Looking at the Network activity of this page: https://helm.csod.com/ux/ats/careersite/4/home?c=helm&lang=de-DE.
Specifically at the post request with the Name: "search". Its using an authorization token.
tldr: How is the following authorization token stored on the Client side?
Goal:
I would like to understand how the browser (client-side) stores this authorization token. I dont Need to get the data or know how to scrape with selenium or sthg. I would just be interested in the mechanics behind.
What i tried:
I find the token in the page source: view-source:https://helm.csod.com/ux/ats/careersite/4/home?c=helm&lang=de-DE.
- It seems like there is an object
csod
created in/player-career-site/1.15.4/pages/home.js
. - then the key is stored in
csod.context
. - Finally,
csod.player.initialize(csod.context)
is called.
Unfortunately, i failed digging in the Code and finding These function as there where too many Matches for initialize
and my js are skills too bad.
As storage i am only Aware of the Cookies. It might be transformed / encrypted and stored in the cookies? But how is it then restored to the "original" token, before being added to the request Header?
