NetLog Viewer Web App!
Randall Raymond
Hi Net Dev,
My project this summer was to create a standalone version of chrome://net-internals for viewing NetLog dumps (issue 472699).
It is very much similar to what is currently in Chromium at chrome://net-internals. The key differences are as follows:
- There is no Export tab or Capture tab. This web app is only for importing NetLog files.
- There is no HSTS tab. This tab did not seem to have a place in a web app used solely for importing NetLog files.
Ultimately the goal here is to increase the security of Chrome, decrease its binary size, and pave the way for cool, great enhancements that won't be confined under the boundaries of building in Chromium. Introducing this web app is the first step towards reaching this goal. Eventually we want the creation and viewing of netlogs to be handled by chrome://net-export and the NetLog viewer app respectively, and strip the corresponding functionality out of chrome://net-internals.
FAQ:
Q: I'm glad I can import my NetLog files, but where do I export them?
A: Ultimately we are transitioning to using chrome://net-export as the sole way of exporting NetLog files. chrome://net-export has been enabled for desktop but more work still needs to be done before it is ready for public use. For now, please keep using chrome://net-internals/#export
Q: What if I just want to view events as they are happening? chrome://net-internals can do that, in the new model do I need to explicitly save a log file and then load it into the viewer?
A: We are aware of the lack of real-time viewing and hope to address this in the future.
Q: Everything is looking pretty clean, but I have some feedback on the user experience and I might have found a bug. What's the best way of letting you know?
A: Great! Please submit any all comments, feedback, bug finds, and more by submitting a response in this Google form.
Thanks,
Randy

This is super exciting, Randy! I was hoping for something like this a while ago.
Is the idea that future feature development on netlog viewing will happen on this github repo?

It looks like a variation of the ImportView code that uses XHR instead of the File API's should be able to do it pretty cleanly. If I get some time I can try working up a pull request (or fork it for WPT's use if that's not a direction you want to take it in).
