Feature-request: postMessage (HTML5 Javascript API) analyzer

[Pedro]

Hi everyone,

What do you think about implementing a postMessage analyzer, that
would work kind of like the current xmlHttpRequest analyzer?

Eg, it would show each message sent or received within the current
document (sender & receiver info, message sent, status...)

This would be very useful as there will be probably be more and more
of those messages in the near future.

Thanks!

Read this Firebug tip:

Is that enough or could the feature be yet improved?

I like this idea and have been looking for a browser extension/add-on to do this but have not found any. Yes, I know it is not hard to add console.log(...) statements to my own code inside of the postMessage handling functions, but I would like to be able to see what messages are being passed when I am viewing a 3rd party website or when I am working on a production build which does not have any console.log calls.

Has anyone considered adding XDM/postMessage logging functionality to FireBug? I don't see any replies to the original post even though its two years old.

Having it 'browser wide' would make it so much easier to debug when you have nested and/or cross domain iframes.
