Title: I need *special* browser
Post by: DukePuke on 9 April 2004, 15:01
for linuxoze of course. Base requirement : I want to see EVERY command that browser sends to server (realtime or in logfile). For example "GET /index.html" or so. I dont care about environment, graphical or text.

btw maybe lynx has such feature? thanks!

Dillo (http://www.dillo.org).

If you start it from the command line, it'll show each thing that happens.  However, the browser isn't fully functional.

Ok, it prompts shit. But its still not what I looked for.. I mean browser who shows commands send to server (GET /index.html...) and so.. (Like visual ftp client like CuteFTP sends commands to server, it has nice window showing of sent commands)

With dillo, I get smth like this:

Connecting to 64.71.191.76
Nav_open_url: Url=>http://www.microsuck.com<
Dns_server

So? Where is GET, HTTP , etc shit? no, there are no infidels. no .

(btw what this hexadecimal value in right means? f.e 0x80fe298)

Hey why don't you just use telent if you are so hardcore  (http://tongue.gif)

anyway's Duke, why d'ya want these crazy features in the first place. If it's to learn then the HTTP is well documented...

one group of people learns reading manuals, and they becoming lack of practic3, another group of people learning better way : practice + theory. So jsut using http protocol and monitoring traffic between hosts, can have some advantages.

btw this time I dont need it for learning, I just need such browser. google is helpless (sad, but its true sometimes).

If you really want the HTTP protocol information, and don't want to shell out money for a packet sniffer, you could always write a local proxy to the log the packets for you. The headers sent to the proxy aren't much different than a standard header:

e.g. Proxy
GET http://www.google.com/ (http://www.google.com/) HTTP/1.1
Proxy-Connection: keep-alive

e.g. Standard
GET / HTTP/1.1
Connection: keep-alive
