How to catch XML packets that ConsoleExport Firebug extension sends?

[Željko Filipin]

I have posted a question at Stack Overflow, but I did not get any replies in 4 days, so I am posting here too:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8541305/how-to-catch-xml-packets-that-consoleexport-firebug-extension-sends

Any help is appreciated. You can post the answer here, if you do not like Stack Overflow.

Thanks,

I answered your question at stackoverflow.

@Honza:
While testing that out right now with the example I posted there, I saw the file being created, but there are no GET or POST parameters sent. Do you have an explanation for that?
Your description should be enhanced by the info how to handle the request.

 I am not PHP expert, but I guess that's because the PHP script is wrong.

Note that the content-Type of the posted data is application/xml

Here is new version of the script that works for me:

<?php
  $filename = 'consoleexport.log';

  if (!$handle = fopen($filename, 'a'))
  {
    echo 'File "'.$filename.'" could not be opened';
    exit;
  }

  ob_start();
  $content = file_get_contents('php://input');
  $content .= "\n";
  ob_clean();

  if (!fwrite($handle, $content))
  {
    echo 'Can\'t write into file "'.$filename.'"';
    exit;
  }

  echo 'Done!';
  fclose($handle);
?>

Thanks Sebastian and Honza. Honza's script is working for me.

Hi!

Is there a way by exporting the answers of a ajax request?
Currently I can export only the request urls, but I want to export also the answers delivered by the requests. Is that possible?

Hi,

can I also export the ajax request answer? Currenty I am only able to export the request URL, but I also want the ajax answer. Is that possible?

I guess that by "ajax request answer" you mean, HTTP response body,
correct?

1) You can try NetExport extension, which exports all data collected
by the Net panel
(including response bodies)

2) You can contribute a patch that implements that feature for Console
Export.
I think it could be pretty easy and I can help you with that.
