I've been using Chrome's Developer tools and it's easy (using the Network tab) to see all the data that is being pulled to build the web page that's being loaded, including the initial source data.
But how do I search/grep thru all the subsequent documents being pulled including XHR calls?
Thanks in advance!

I am working as a data analysist and I am junior too. The following is my question/problem.
I want to access some data from the requested headers from dev network tabs in browsers. How can I export those data automatically even with certain changes on latter request?
Let me explore more,
For example, I am navigating a site. Then I am going to access development tools of the browser and then I navigate to the network tab with fetch XHR, after that I want to export the response of it automatically. how can I do that?
Thank you!
So, I am working on a project(building a chrome extension) that requires data to be stored on the local machine of the user. The size of data is quite large hence I thought of using IndexDB for this purpose.
My Question is whether is it possible to connect a chrome extension with IndexDB and query the database at the same time??
If Yes, Then how can I integrate them. In which file(popup.js or background.js or any other file) should I include the source code for creating the database.
I want the code for creating the database to run only once. After that I only want to update or delete data only.
If No, then is there any other way to achieve this?? The data is large hence I cannot store data in local storage.
Any paper, online material, advice or method from chrome developers or any other valid site would be helpful. Any example would help me alot.
Thankyou.
You can store tons of data in any HTML5 storage (including IndexedDB or localStorage) and chrome.storage.local with "unlimitedStorage" permission.
HTML5 data is stored per URL origin and each extension has its own one that looks like chrome-extension://id where id is a 32-character string that is the extension's id. In Firefox the origin looks like moz-extension://id.
Extension's own HTML5 storage:
can be accessed in any extension page (popup, options, background) just like you would do it in a web page, there are no differences.
cannot be accessed in a content script as it runs in a web page and thus can only access HTML5 storage of the web page's URL origin.
chrome.storage.local can be accessed in any extension page and in a content script.
No need for special event to create/upgrade your IndexedDB storage - it'll happen automatically if needed - simply open it as shown in the documentation whenever you need to access it and your onupgradeneeded callback will be invoked in case there was no DB or it was outdated.
Use a wrapper library for IndexedDB that provides a simplified syntax. Some are listed in the documentation, but you can probably find better ones yourself.
I'm currently working on my Bachelor's Degree paper and I want to create an environment for software testing.
I found that the requests shown in the Network tab of Chrome's Developer tools would be very helpful for what I'm trying to develop.
So I was wondering...Is there a way of saving these kind of requests in a file on my local or to access them through Java code?
Is your goal to save the request or response data?
If you're interested in saving the responses, you could either save the entire page, or save individual requests using the network requests tab in the Chrome Inspector.
I am developing Filemaker application that uses web viewer.
I need to access to DOM or Window object inside web viewer control so that I can send some messages(or trigger predefined events) to web page from Filemaker.
So the goal is to make web page inside web viewer control get some data that Filemaker sends at any time. Web page is a local html file of which URL starts with file:///.
Is it possible to do this or is there another way to accomplish this task?
It's much easier to send a message from the web viewer to FileMaker using the fmp url protocol (which you can use to e.g. call a script in FileMaker from Javascript).
You can't send a message directly to the web viewer from FileMaker. Your best bet is to set a variable on a service somewhere and have the web viewer poll that service to see if the value changes.
"This task" is not well-defined, IMHO. What exactly are "messages" or "predefined events"? You certainly can use the Set Web Viewer script step to make the web viewer load another URL at any time you wish to.
Note also that you can use Data URI to load data into the web-viewer directly, without requiring an external HTML document.
As we all know, the infopath forms service residing on a sharepoint server generates a web site each time we publish an inforpath form template to the sharepoint server.
Here is the question: how does sharepoint do that. Is there any way for us to do that programmatically via some kind of api provided by MS?
In fact, what I need to do is getting all the html, js, css etc. files and applying some kind of operations like deleting some divs or insert some html code into the particular web page. I have come up with two ways to do this.
Generating the web page via sharepoint api and apply those operations at the same time
Extracting the web page files from the IIS server and apply those operations
I am totally new to this kind of work. All in my mind is that each time we right click on a web page in the browser and choose to save the web page, the browser gets some of the files we need to render the web page and makes it possible for us to browse the web page offline.

WinWSD
and tools like that seems to work fine with extracting html files from online web pages but not that well with js, css files.
Now I am trying to dig into the chromium project for some kind of inspiration, although whether it helps or not is unpredictable.
Any kind of advice will be appreciated.
Best Regards,
Jordan
Infopath xsn files are just zip files with a different extension. you can rename the extension to .zip and extract out the files. you will find a number of files that make up the form. the two main ones are the .xml and .xsl files. the .xsl will have the html to generate when applied to the xml.
