Unable to monitor http/https requests made by node

[harumando]

Hello,
When I make a request I don't see it in the developer tools. I can see the request only when it's made with jquery or native xmlhttprequest.

I've binded console.log on the 'end' event and I can see that node-webkit is actually doing the request and it's returning me a correct response. But doing these "blind requests" is very hard. May be i'm missing something? How can i debug native node http requests without console.log'ing them.
Thank you.

I was actually wondering the same. Inspecting the background page where node runs, shows zero on the network traffic tab while a lot of node http/https requests are going on made by require('http") module

@rogerwang any chance on getting the node http traffic on the network tab there?

[rogerwang]

It might be doable, but requires some effort since requests from Node don't go through Chromium's logic.

@rogerwang actually it is already build in the latest NodeJS - so you can easily bind with the --inspect flag
See https://medium.com/@paul_irish/debugging-node-js-nightlies-with-chrome-devtools-7c4a1b95ae27#.x2ysytoqe

So it should be just a matter of activation ...

The link describes JS debugging only. I don't think the network monitoring
feature is in there.

well other people have done it nicely in devtool: https://mattdesl.svbtle.com/debugging-nodejs-in-chrome-devtools

and also in node-inspector https://github.com/node-inspector/node-inspector

See also https://github.com/cyrus-and/chrome-remote-interface

It will be really neat to have the full debugging tools available in NWjs - it will make our lives really much more easier! Thanks for consideration @rogerwang !

[rogerwang]

In the link you provided, network monitoring is done by using a xhr-request
module in application... Could you please make sure of it?

Well the whole v8_inspector was landed in Node 6.3:

nodejs/node#6792

so check it and also:
https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/third_party/WebKit/Source/platform/v8_inspector

it should be all there

[rogerwang]

The v8 inspector is used for inspecting V8 thus JS execution, nothing to do
with network monitoring.

Are you able to monitor traffic from http module in Node?

My bad about the v8_inspector - will check for the http monitoring with it when using the --inspect command line in node.

But you should really check https://github.com/cyrus-and/chrome-remote-interface - it has the network monitoring in the very first sample...

[rogerwang]

I came across that repo. It is just a API layer exposing devtools inside
Chromium. The feature you want has to be done in Node -- integrate http
module with devtools.
