1345984 - http requests initiated by flash plugin are not shown in Network tab in Developer Tools

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(DevTools :: Netmonitor, defect, P3)

Description

[teo8976]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/56.0.2924.87 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

- Visit a page that contains some flash content (swf) which does http requests (e.g. uploads)
- Open Developer Tools -> Network
- have the flash content make some http requests


Actual results:

The requests made by the flash content are not listed


Expected results:

they should be, just like requests made by javascript code, and by any other plugin.
ALL requests should be listed.

This is outrageous. I have a swf that triggers an error only in Firefox (works perfectly fine in Chrome), and I can't **** debug it.

Can you provide the page for reproduce?

Comment 2

No I can't. The one I have is private.

However ANY page with an swf performing http requests will do.

Can somebody please provide a simple page that we can use to see the problem on our machines?
This is usually helping a lot and increasing the chance that the report will get fixed.

Thanks!
Honza
