Extension Usage Instructions

PLEASE NOTE: This extension is designed to work with the HttpWatch software version 11 - 14 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
