1513984 - Not able to save individual selected requests to HAR

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(DevTools :: Netmonitor, defect, P3)

Description

[13hu]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:64.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/64.0

Steps to reproduce:

Open Network Inspector
Visit https://mozilla.org
Select a request
Right click


Actual results:

Option to Save All as HAR, but no option to save just the selected request to HAR file.

Filter then "Save All as HAR" will export only filtered requests, but it would be nice to have a single request save option.


Also, different issue but select multiple requests with CTRL does not work.


Expected results:

An option to save only the selected request as HAR.

Hi,

Thank you for reporting this issue. I’d like to work on implementing the feature to save a single request as a HAR file.

To clarify, this would involve:

1. Adding an option in the context menu (right-click) to "Save Selected Request as HAR."
   

2. Ensuring the functionality integrates well with the current "Save All as HAR" feature.
   

Regarding the issue with selecting multiple requests using CTRL, I’ll look into whether this is related or would require a separate fix.

Please let me know if there are any guidelines or specifics I should keep in mind while working on this. Looking forward to your feedback!

The selected request can be saved in .har file.

Sorry about the delay, most of us were on holiday break for the past few weeks.

I wouldn't try to address this. At the moment only one request can be selected in the netmonitor, and this drives the content of the sidepanel which shows the request's details. Changing this to allow several requests to be selected would require some changes on the UI/UX side as well.

Please let me know if there are any guidelines or specifics I should keep in mind while working on this. Looking forward to your feedback!

You managed to submit a patch already, so you probably figured most of the basics already, but just in case we have docs at https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/setup/contributing_code.html

When possible, we should also try to write tests when adding new features, I'll try to give some pointers on Phabricator.
