Question

Since I am learning about HTTP packets and chrome extension, I thought of developing an extenison which could extract the GET and POST arguments of a website?

Is it possible using chrome extension?

Answer 1

GET is embedded data in the URL

Example : http://stackoverflow.com?username=user782400

?username=user782400 is a GET request .. 

You can fetch the data in URL's username

in POST
where data is posted back to server , using forms … you need to know to field names which are posted to fetch the data.

Best thing is Use JQuery jQuery.get() to GET

$.ajax({
  url: url,
  data: data,
  success: success,
  dataType: dataType
});

POST

$.ajax({
  type: 'POST',
  url: url,
  data: data,
  success: success,
  dataType: dataType
});
