Looking for some help to log HTTP requests for a given page.
Essentially I’m looking at running a Ubuntu instance to log HTTP requests from a given page and parse them out to the user. I’d like to use a Python Web App client side.
Workflow is :
User types in URL > App takes in Requests > XULRunner “does something” > Python App returns cookies set for the given URL.
Looking for some pointers around the process “XULRunner does something”?
You probably want to use a
<browser type="content">tag in XULRunner and usebrowser.addProgressListener()to add a web progress listener. With the progress listener you will be able to track all requests (calls toonStateChangewithaFlagcontainingSTATE_IS_REQUESTflag). The progress listener can then read out the requested address (aRequest.QueryInterface(Components.interfaces.nsIChannel).URI.spec) and log it. IfaFlagcontainsSTATE_STOPflag then you can also read out response headers (aRequest.QueryInterface(Components.interfaces.nsIHttpChannel).getResponseHeader("Set-Cookie")). Callingbrowser.loadURI()actually starts loading the page.
