Fixed: The HttpWatch.crx file installed with HttpWatch has been updated. This fixes a 'CRX verification failed' error that occurred when using the latest versions of Chrome and Selenium

Version 12.1.3 - 21 Oct 2019

New: Multi-value strings are supported in the Filter dialog by using the | (vertical bar) character as a separator. For example, entering 'google.com|fonts/' in the URL field would match against any URL that contained 'google.com' or 'fonts/'
New: Added experimental support for Microsoft Edge (Chromium) by installing the HttpWatch extension from the Chrome web store. A full implementation will be added when Edge (Chromium) is officially released. See help file for details.
New: WebP images and animations are now displayed in the Content tab
Improved: Animated images (e.g. GIFs and WebP) now show the loop count. When the loop count is reached the animation can be restarted in the Content tab by clicking on the image
Fixed: In recent Chrome versions the introduction of the network service meant that some request and response headers were not displayed in HttpWatch or DevTools. HttpWatch has been updated so that these headers are recorded.

Version 12.0.18 - 16 Sep 2019

Improved: Added a workaround for the HAR output from Chrome. It could add a 'SameSite' value to the cookie object even though it is not defined in the HAR spec.
Improved: Added a workaround for the HAR output from Firefox. It sometimes drops the required 'title' value from the page object.

Version 12.0.16 - 22 Aug 2019

Improved: HAR files containing incorrectly encoded control characters can now be opened in HttpWatch.
Improved: Content mime types ending in '+json' are now treated as JSON for syntax highlighting, folding and formatting, e.g. application/vnd.appname+json

Fixed: The selected text was sometimes not scrolled into view when searching through word wrapped content.

Version 12.0.15 - 13 Aug 2019

Version 12.0.14 - 02 Aug 2019

Fixed: Sometimes requests recorded in Chrome were not correctly displayed as being from the cache.
Fixed: The Content tab did not display content for requests with a 304 response in Chrome.
Improved: The connection ID is no longer displayed in Chrome for QUIC based requests as they do not use TCP connections.

Version 12.0.11 - 26 Jul 2019

Fixed: Requests recorded in Chrome were sometimes not correctly displayed in ascending time order.
Changed: Modified the installer to avoid a false positive detection from a small number of anti-virus products.

Version 12.0.9 - 15 Jul 2019

Fixed: The Receive timing value was incorrectly reported in the Chrome extension and tended to be higher than the true value.

Version 12.0.8 - 28 Jun 2019

Fixed: Searching using the Find window selected the matching text but did not scroll it into view. This problem occurred in the text views of the Content and POST Data tabs if word wrap was enabled.

Version 12.0 - 17 Jun 2019

New: Enhanced debugging of JSON based REST API calls through the use of formatted, syntax highlighted request and response body viewers.
New: POST Data tab displays top level JSON data items
New: POST Data has a selectable Text view that allows the underlying request body to be viewed, e.g. multi-part form data, JSON request, etc
New: Password masking is now applied to top-level JSON fields in a POST message. This provides a way to stop sensitive data such as passwords being stored in log files when the data is sent with a simple JSON based POST.
New: Textual content now supports folding for most common file types, e.g. HTML, CSS, JSON, XML. Sections of text, such as an HTML tag, can be collapsed to make it easier to understand the structure of a file and locate areas of interest.
New: The original order of POST parameters is preserved and display using an 'Index' column on the POST Data tab.
Improved: HttpWatch Studio can now load large HAR files up to 5 times faster than previous versions.
