chrome.benchmarking.closeConnections() and chrome.benchmarking.clearHostResolverCache() disappeared in v27?

[Andrea Cardaci]

I'm using that two functions in my project (chrome-har-capturer): I use the Runtime.evaluate command of the Remote Debugging Protocol to issue:

chrome.benchmarking.closeConnections(); chrome.benchmarking.clearHostResolverCache();

to the remote instance of Chrome (started with --enable-benchmarking).

Yesterday I noticed that on Chrome v27 (I can't be more specific right now...) that two functions were missing, though the chrome.benchmarking object is still there. 

Does something is changed? If so, are there any workarounds?

The exact version is  27.0.1453.93.

I have the same issue with chrome beta version 28.0.1500.36 dev. Have you found an answer?

Nope, no luck... If I ever find some info I will post it here. It would be nice if you could do the same.

I still don't know if they have removed the functions or not but

the following code can be used to clear the DNS cache:

chrome.browsingData.removeCache({});

I think that they removed chrome.benchmarking functionalities, also this extension https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/page-benchmarker/channimfdomahekjcahlbpccbgaopjll made by google is not working any more.

I find out that there are new benchmarking flags, now you need also to add "--enable-net-benchmarking".

[Andrea Cardaci]

That's great! I'm curious... how did you find out?

I was wondering if there were more flags and I find out two interesting resources:

- http://peter.sh/experiments/chromium-command-line-switches/

- chrome://flags/

I totally missed that, the last time I checked that website...

Thanks, you solved one big issue to me.

Cheers!
