It has been two years since I last did anything with browser automation. Apparently, exporting HAR files has become way easier! This used to be so painful…http://www.softwareishard.com/blog/har-export-trigger/
(HAR = HTTP Archive, basically a text file with all the HTTP Requests and Responses that belong to browsing one web page, how long it took, etc)
I was using wget before, but now I'm doing my performance tests with an actual browser.
Performance testing with cat pictures is so much more fun when you can see the actual cat pictures. :3
However, I was surprised by the amount of bogus traffic showing up in my trace. Damn it, Firefox, be quiet already and just give me the HTTP requests I want to see, not all this Mozilla whatever services querying over SSL... =_=
This thread saved me by telling me how to make Firefox quiet: https://www.wilderssecurity.com/threads/firefox-quiet.375074/
