1391465 - Implement a skeleton Chrome DevTools Protocol server into Firefox

Status: NEW

(DevTools :: General, enhancement, P3)

Description

[Naomi Smith [:spinda] (non-bmo mail: [e-mail])]

Implement a Chrome DevTools Protocol server into Firefox which fully supports the HTTP portion of the protocol (querying version information, enumerating available pages, opening new tabs, switching the active tab) and supports an initial subset of WebSocket commands and events.

This can be based on the cdp [0] and tokio-cdp [1] crates, which have been used to build a similar feature into Servo [2]. Page.navigate [3] and Page.reload [4] will probably be good first commands to implement.

I worked on this as an intern project back in 2017. Not sure what happened to it after I left.
