/ie-networkdata-to-har

Primary LanguageJavaScript

This utility converts the IE NetworkData.xml files into standard HAR files.

Things that get fixed

  • The XML has extra named objects inside arrays. E.g. log.pages[].page.title instead of log.pages[].title. These are removed.
  • The XML sometimes doesn't have the page.startedDateTime matching the first entry.startedDateTime for that page. This results in some pages that have their first entry many seconds or minutes after the page's start time, which makes the HAR timeline unnecessarily elongated.
  • The XML is often missing all the timings fields (blocked, dns, ssl, connect, send, wait, receive). These are added.

Warnings

  • IE sometimes exports multiple <page> elements with the same page.id. You might want to take a look at the XML export and fix the ids if necessary.

Sample code

    var ie2har = require('./ie-networkdata-to-har');

    var args = process.argv.slice(2);
    var src = args[0];
    var dest = args[1];
    var indentation = parseInt(args[2]);
    if (isNaN(indentation)) {
        indentation = 2;
    }

    ie2har.xmlFileToHarFile(src, dest, { indentation: indentation }, function(err) {
        if (err) console.error(err);
    });
