#ios-har-builder

Loads pages on Safari on iOS Simulator and builds a HTTP Archive (HAR) file for page load.

This is work-in-progress and liable to change

##Install

1. Clone repository
2. Run npm install to install dependencies

##Usage

Load the iOS Simulator and launch Safari then

Usage: bin/ios-har-builder [options] URL...

options:
  --output, -o   Dump generated HAR to file instead of stdout
  --verbose, -v  Enable verbose output

N.B. Options for host and port don't currently work

Example:    bin/ios-har-builder -o example.har http://m.guardian.co.uk

##Credits

ios-har-builder is based on a fork of chrome-har-capturer (https://github.com/cyrus-and/chrome-har-capturer) by Andrea Cardaci (cyrus.and@gmail.com)

It's a separate fork for now as there are some differences in behaviour between Chrome and Safari e.g. lack of navigation / resource timing in Safari, Safari wraps the WebKit debug protocol in RPC etc.

##Issues

• Cookies aren't currently supported
• Code needs cleaning up and refactoring in several places
• Host and Port parameters don't work
• iOS Simulator only (for now)

##Resources

• HAR 1.2 Spec
• HAR Viewer
• Chrome Developer Tools: Remote Debugging Protocol v1.0
