Re: [chromium-dev] Any interest in command line tools for network stack?

One command line tool I have sometimes wanted when debugging, is a way to dump out a cached response from the disk cache. The only way I know to do this currently is create a profile and load it in chrome, then use about:cache to print the response as hex. (At which point you still need to

Howdy, I've been trying to dive into the Chromium codebase and have been focusing on the network stack after getting the gist of how Chromium on the whole is organized. I've written a few hacky little command line tools to exercise some of the networking components (nslookup-like for

I'm using them as a learning exercise for the network stack - and I'm guessing that they will help debug behavior in the future as well. I don't intend to add additional functionality over the standard tools - in fact, I promise you they'll be less functional than the standard tools. For example,
