(Some background; but for the TL;DR, see the list below): I am looking for a debugger *PLUS Logger*. I dont want to have to trace through everything. But I would be *especially* interested to know if the javascript makes some call somewhere (maybe set a breakpoint too! with the option to modify or block the call before continuing) to some server.... Here's a list of ideas: - log calls, including arguments, sent data and results (the very act of logging is important, because sometimes stuff will be broken / the behaviour will change due to the loss of focus of mouse/keyboard due to a debugger being activated). This log format should be open, and searchable. - set breakpoint on network activity or other insidious activity (in my mind, that would include code that runs "onmouseover", and "onclick") I hope this explains things better? And just to be clear, I understand that there will be work involved; and whoever chooses to undertake this, I will be most appreciative. Or if there's some way already to do this right now, I would appreciate info. In the meantime... does anybody see the need for this? -jf -- http://gnuzilla.gnu.org
