Is it possible to capture XHR response data using WebDriver

Question

I'm writing small bot using Selenium WebDriver. Is it possible to capture data from response of XmlHttpRequests using browsermob-proxy or any different way? I need to inspect received data from POST/GET queries. Actually question more related to functionality of browsermob-proxy and I couldn't find an answer.

I believe the answer is no, but you could have Selenium execute javascript to send the post/get and retrieve the response headers... I use something like this to display errors (jqXHR is jQuery's response XML object: http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.ajax/#jqXHR)

$.post(destURL, formresult, function (data) {

//... process return data

}).fail(function (jqXHR, textStatus, error) {
    DisplayError(jqXHR, textStatus, error);


});
