Can selenium be used for INTRAnet? not INTERnet
Can selenium be used to access intranet websites in the following format? I am trying to access a website that is in the form something/
where something is just a word that doesn't contain https or .com etc.
Also, suppose not, then could it still be used to play around with websites whose url is of the form https://something
where again, something is just a word that doesn't contain https or .com etc.
Here is my code:
from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get("something/")
selenium

Yes of course. Why not? At least if your intranet page is browsable using a classical internet browser.

@Kanak It doesn't seem to work though for sites of the form something/. Could you send me an example of it working for you?

You necessarily have a protocole to access your webpage via webbrowers, be it internally or externally served. Did you trydriver.get("http://something/")?

"something/" isn't a valid URL. What do you expect selenium to do with that? Open a file named "something"? "something.html"? Go to "something.com"? "something.net"?

You necessarily have an application protocol (for example HTTP, HTTPS, BGP, DHCP, DNS, FTP, IMAP, LDAP, MGCP, ...) that specifies the methods used by hosts in a communications network. In your case, to access your page, you may want to try
driver.get("http://something/")
In reaction to your question in comment about the difference between http and https: as it reads here
Using HTTPS, the computers agree on a "code" between them, and then they scramble the messages using that "code" so that no one in between can read them. This keeps your information safe from hackers.
To directly access your site while dealing with SSL certificates (https), you may want to try
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_argument('--ignore-certificate-errors')
driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=options)
driver.get("https://something/")

@graph I addressed your other comment/question in practice. Verbally, this is because Selenium may not deal with ssl certificates automatically, i.e. loading https directly may not work automatically. The redirection from http to https (that you see) circumvents the problem. Test my update above. Does it work?

Yes of course. Why not? At least if your intranet page is browsable using a classical internet browser.

You necessarily have a protocole to access your webpage via webbrowers, be it internally or externally served. Did you try
driver.get("http://something/")?– keepAlive

Oh that works!! Thanks! I had tried it with https, but that didn't work. Could you please explain to me the difference between using http and https? Thanks!

"something/" isn't a valid URL. What do you expect selenium to do with that? Open a file named "something"? "something.html"? Go to "something.com"? "something.net"?
