Integrates with HttpWatch software to provide detailed information about HTTP(S) requests generated by Chrome, including headers, cookies, status codes, and timings, making it easier for developers to debug and optimize web applications. The extension is particularly useful for Windows users who need advanced network traffic analysis capabilities beyond the built-in DevTools network panel. By installing this extension, developers can gain a deeper understanding of their application's performance and security issues.
Overview
PLEASE NOTE: This extension is designed to work with the HttpWatch software version 15 or later on Windows (see www.httpwatch.com). It is not intended to be a stand-alone Chrome extension.
HttpWatch supports many additional features compared to the built-in DevTools network panel:
- Supports multi-page debugging by grouping requests by page
- Supports automatic recording and logging of network traffic in each Chrome tab without additional user intervention
- Displays warnings about well know performance and security issues, e.g. ineffective cache settings
- Advanced Find and Filter functions make it easier to locate requests or content
- Automatically masks out passwords in POST form data so that they are not recorded in HWL or HAR files
- Built in summaries of page level statistics, e.g. bytes downloaded, network round trips, etc
- Add comments to requests to help subsequent analysis of log files
- Directly email HWL or HAR files from within the tool
Currently the tool is Windows only and requires a separate download from https://www.httpwatch.com to complete the installation once the Chrome Extension is installed.
HttpWatch acts as an in-browser HTTP sniffer and displays detailed information about HTTP(S) requests generated by Chrome. This information includes:
- HTTP headers
- HTTP cookies
- Status codes and errors
- Query Strings
- POST Data
- Content - image, textual and binary
- Timings
