Unable to scrape locally hosted profileExample.html file

[petabreads]

Hello All,

I had a project working a couple months ago, returned to it this weekend and ran into an issue. Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction, i'm at a loss. I did a fresh install of linkedin-scraper with the latest version.

In the past, i was able to save the source code from a profile, host it locally, then run "linkedin-scraper http:localhost:9999/jeffweiner08_local.html". This worked perfectly.

Now when I do this, it comes up with empty arrays (see below). When i point it back to the actual public profile (http://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffweiner08), everything works as expected.

Any ideas what i'm doing wrong? I'm currently on mac OSX, in the past i was running RHEL 7.

Example Result when using a local file:

########:~ user$ linkedin-scraper http://localhost:9999/jeffweiner08_local.html

  "name": "Jeff Weiner",

Can you check if there is diff between the source code and the local save file ?

I am having the same problem with version 2.1.1 using ruby 2.2 x64 on windows 10. Any suggestions on how to resolve this issue.. I have diffed the local version and the online public profile and there is no apparent difference.
