Selenium: How to intercept request

Question

Some body know how to intercept/get request url (XHR) and response in Selenium WebDriver? Is it possible?

Answer 1

Its not directly supported by webdriver, but you can capture all traffic by redirecting it through a proxy. In java..

Proxy proxy = new Proxy();
// This should be the address of proxy.
proxy.setHttpProxy("localhost:8080");

DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.firefox();
capabilities.setCapability(CapabilityType.PROXY, proxy);

WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(capabilities);
