HttpWatch API Examples

This repository contains example programs that demonstrate how to use the HttpWatch automation API to record and analyze HTTP traffic from Google Chrome.

HttpWatch is an HTTP analyzer that can be controlled programmatically via a COM automation interface, making it easy to integrate HTTP recording and analysis into scripts and test frameworks.

Microsoft Edge: Every example also supports Microsoft Edge. See the comment at the top of each source file for the one-line (or few-line) change needed to switch from Chrome to Edge.
