Hi,
I was using selenium RC 1.0 beta 1 and recently I upgraded to selenium RC 1.0.1 stable version. The purpose of this upgrade was mainly to make use of captureNetworkTraffic() function instead of external Fiddler proxy server I was using to capture HTTP requests.
Below-written are my observations
1. captureNetworkTraffic works perfectly with firefox, but in IE it always returns null for the command selenium.captureNetworkTraffic("plain"). I believe this is the way it is supposed to work, but I feel this to be a serious limitation.
2. I find that some scripts which used to work properly in 1.0 beta 1 are not working at all while using 1.0.1. For instance we were using a script inside a div tag, and used <!-- to comment out the specific functions to get it XHTML compliant. I was able to get this content using selenium.getText() command, but not in RC 1.0.1.
3. I was using *firefox for testing with external proxy and using the command ## java -Dhttp.proxyHost=127.0.0.1 -Dhttp.proxyPort=8888 -jar selenium-server.jar ## to route firefox through proxy, but in 1.0.1 I need to use *firefoxproxy to route FF through proxy.
Hence I find that there are many backward compatibility issues in selnium RC 1.0.1 though it is termed to be a stable version.
Please let me know if anyone knows when I can expect captureNetworkTraffic to work in IE so that I can get rid of external proxy servers to capture HTTP requests/responses.
Thanks,
