HttpWatch

Works with HttpWatch software (version 13 or later) on Windows to show HTTP/HTTPS traffic generated by the Edge browser

PLEASE NOTE: This extension is designed to work with the HttpWatch software on Windows (see www.httpwatch.com). It is not intended to be a stand-alone Edge 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 Edge 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 Edge Extension is installed.

HttpWatch acts as an in-browser HTTP sniffer and displays detailed information about HTTP(S) requests generated by Edge. This information includes:

– HTTP headers
– HTTP cookies
– Status codes and errors
– Query Strings
– POST Data
– Content – image, textual and binary
– Timings
