Request Monitoring in Chrome

Solution 1:

I know this is an old thread but I thought I would chime in.

Chrome currently has a solution built in.

1. Use CTRL+SHIFT+I (or navigate to Current Page Control > Developer > Developer Tools. In the newer versions of Chrome, click the Wrench icon > Tools > Developer Tools.) to enable the Developer Tools.
2. From within the developer tools click on the Network button. If it isn't already, enable it for the session or always.
3. Click the "XHR" sub-button.
4. Initiate an AJAX call.
5. You will see items begin to show up in the left column under "Resources".
6. Click the resource and there are 2 tabs showing the headers and return content.

Solution 2:

The most up-to-date answer to this is: they are listed under the 'Network' button in the developer tools, no longer under 'Resources' like it used to be.

Solution 3:

Update

Chrome changed how to inspect requests and suggests now to use the Catapult Netlog Viewer with the logs exported from chrome://net-export/

chrome://net-export/

More Info

Old Chrome Versions

You also may use this link in Chrome for more detailed information than the inspector did it.

chrome://net-internals/#events

This shows the log of all requests of the browser while open

Solution 4:

don't know as of which chrome version this is available, but i found a setting 'Console - Log XMLHttpRequests' (clicking on the icon in the bottom right corner of developer tools in chrome on mac)

Solution 5:

Open up your DevTools and press F1 to access the settings. Look for the console section and check the checkbox for "Log XMLHttpRequests".

Now all of your ajax and other similar requests will be logged in the console.

I prefer this method because it usually allows me to see everything that I'm looking for in the console without having to go to the network tab.
