1438625 - Please log Flash Player Requests inside the Network monitor on Developer tools !

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(DevTools :: Netmonitor, defect, P4)

Description

[ytrezq]

Flash Player can makes requests through the browser stack.

The problem is such request aren’t logged in Developer tools network monitor’s.
As result, it’s impossible to debug logic bug that are relative to specific behavior from FireFox (problems like some headers being filtered in some circumstances)

By matter of comparison, Internet Explorer and Google chrome logs such ʜᴛᴛᴘ requests.

I think they are if you turn on the "Other" button in the toolbar. Can you confirm this ?

I confirm this for ʜᴛᴛᴘs request.

Unsecured ʜᴛᴛᴘ requests aren’t logged as you can see with this sample https://thehackerblog.com/crossdomain/index.html.

@ytrezq: I am not sure how to reproduce the problem on my machine.

When loading: http://web.archive.org/web/20171218200735/https://thehackerblog.com/crossdomain/index.html in Firefox or Chrome I am seeing 18 requests. Should there be more? How could I verify that some are missing?
Do you see those missing requests in the Browser Console (Ctrl+Shift+J)?
(don't forget to switch on the Network filter in the browser console)

Simple there s a button for making requests on the app.

Given that Firefox announced to remove Flash support in 2020, investing in debugging wouldn't be useful. If no other arguments are coming up, I'll WONTFIX this for now.
