boilerpipe | Work in progress transmit from Google Code | Runtime Evironment library

I have html source code as simple string in java class. I have to convert it to htmlDocument (de.l3s.boilerpipe.sax.HTMLDocument) object (to use it in boilerpipe later). How can I convert a string to htmlDocument. Following is the code

I migrated my App Engine application from Java 7 to Java 8 as described here.

The invoked endpoint in my App Engine application performs the following steps:

• Performs an HTTP request using java.net.HttpURLConnection
• Extracts text from the web page retrieved using de.l3s.boilerpipe.sax.BoilerpipeSAXInput.BoilerpipeSAXInput
• Creates a json object containing some fields realated to the web page visited using com.google.gson.JsonObject
• Returns the json in the response.

I notice a dramatic performance deterioration with Java 8.

Using the App Engine console chart, I notice a big difference in latency. Using Java 7, latency is approximately 5 seconds. Using Java 8, latency is approximately 15 seconds.

I extracted the following information from the logs by choosing two requests representing the average latency time. The first one for requests on the Java 7 version and the second one for requests on the Java 8 version.

Java 7 version:

This is my code:

I'm attempting to extract data from numerous sites that don't have SSL certifications. I'm using the boilerpipe python wrapper to extract the text without HTML and write it to a text file.

I understand how to remove the SSL certification requirement in the requests library, but I can't seem to find a solution when it comes to boilerpipe. Boilerpipe is an amazing Java library for preparing scraped data for NLP so I'd love to be able to use it in Python.

Here's the code I'm running:

While I've seen some literature on the topic I didn't quite understand how to implement a code block which will write large text files without crashing.

As I understand, it is supposed to be done line by line however from the implementations I've seen this is only done with files that already exist, instead I want to create and write the file in the block with each iteration of the loop.

This is the code block (it's surrounded by a try catch):

I'm aware that unicode was changed to str in python 3 but I keep getting the same issue no matter how I write this code, can anyone tell me why?

I'm using boilerpipe for a specific set of webcrawls:

I want to obtain file information (file name & size in bytes) for the files in a directory. But there are a lot of sub-directory (~ 1000) and files (~40 000).

Actually my solution is to use filepath.Walk() to obtain file information for each file. But this is quite long.

I'm using the following code to fetch the html of a New York Times page and unfortunately, this is returning null. I have tried with other websites (CNN, The Guardian, etc) and they work fine. I'm using the URLFetchService from Google App Engine.

Here's the code snippet. Please tell me what am I doing wrong?

When running gem install I get the following:
