Request Monitoring in Chrome

Question

In Firefox, I use Firebug which allows me to view every http request my ajax calls are making. I've switched over my development to Chrome and am liking it so far. My only complaint, however, is that the developer tools don't seem to allow you to view each ajax request. I've had it happen once where the Resources panel showed multiple requests to the same resource, but it's only done it once and never again.

Is there a way to reliably see every http request that a page is making through javascript from within Chrome?

[Edit:11/30/09 11:55]

Currently, to get around this, I'm running Fiddler next to Chrome to view my requests, but if there's a way to do it from within the browser, I'd prefer that.

Answer 1

I know this is an old thread but I thought I would chime in.

Chrome currently has a solution built in.

1. Use CTRL+SHIFT+I (or navigate to Current Page Control > Developer > Developer Tools. In the newer versions of Chrome, click the Wrench icon > Tools > Developer Tools.) to enable the Developer Tools.
2. From within the developer tools click on the Network button. If it isn't already, enable it for the session or always.
3. Click the "XHR" sub-button.
4. Initiate an AJAX call.
5. You will see items begin to show up in the left column under "Resources".
6. Click the resource and there are 2 tabs showing the headers and return content.

Answer 2

The most up-to-date answer to this is: they are listed under the 'Network' button in the developer tools, no longer under 'Resources' like it used to be.

Answer 3

Update

Chrome changed how to inspect requests and suggests now to use the Catapult Netlog Viewer with the logs exported from chrome://net-export/

chrome://net-export/

Old Chrome Versions

You also may use this link in Chrome for more detailed information than the inspector did it.

chrome://net-internals/#events

This shows the log of all requests of the browser while open

Answer 4

don't know as of which chrome version this is available, but i found a setting 'Console - Log XMLHttpRequests' (clicking on the icon in the bottom right corner of developer tools in chrome on mac)
