I've archived the ClientDataSet XML file dumps from qc.embarcadero.com. It is the same data that an anonymous web-crawler would get when accessing the QC Site. In addition I saved the content from a fresh EDN account. There are slight differences in tests comments.

  1. Note that QCScraper doesn't retrieve attachments. So some cases might be incomplete.

  2. Uwe Raabe I had a very short look at that, but no immediate idea to fix this in an elegant way.

    Any thoughts?

  3. I did try to add the ability to retrieve attachments but with QC being down, I slowly moved on :(
    Might have another try (if QC is up)...?

  4. Can't they (Embarcadero) simply publish a dump of their whole database?

  5. Because there are articles that shouldn't be public for everyone

  6. Ondrej Kelle that's why I figured out what the web-site does in case of anonymous access to the site. My own account could see way too much. The internal database has even more.

  7. Nicholas Ring QC is up for now. I won't have time until after Christmas (need to assist my mentally retarded brother with some events).
