Released: Apr 27, 2026

Updates in v16.0.5

Funktionen

• New
  • JavaScript cookie activity is now captured and displayed as events in the Console window.
  • The console window now has fold support for easier navigation.
  • Where possible, console entries have stack traces that link directly to source code.
  • Console entries have timestamps in the same format as the main request grid.
  • Console entries indicate which page was active when they were collected. The page link can be selected to view the page in the main request grid.
  • Console entries that relate to a network request now have a link that navigates to the matching entry in the main request grid.
  • Console output now supports console.table, console.time, console.count and other modern logging features.
  • Browser and operating system information is now extracted from HAR files and displayed in HttpWatch.
  • Warnings HW3009 and HW3010 added to detect incorrect content headers and invalid content types returned by servers.
  • Automatically detects incorrectly labeled content types (e.g. HTML, JSON, CSS, JavaScript, XML) and applies correct formatting.
  • Tighter integration with Chrome and Edge - activating a tab or HttpWatch window now brings the corresponding window to the foreground.
  • Recording activity is now clearly indicated with an animated icon in the browser toolbar.
  • The Cookies tab has a new JavaScript column that shows whether a cookie value was set from JavaScript. A clickable link navigates to the source code that set the cookie value and a context menu item allows navigation to the corresponding event in the Console window.
• Improved
  • More accurate request timing and duration calculations, especially for redirected requests.
  • Ability to expand or collapse all console entries and control default expansion behavior.
  • Warnings dialog is now resizable.
  • Window positioning can be reset by holding Shift when opening a window.
  • Title bar now displays both the page title and URL.
  • The extension now correctly redirects from protected chrome:// pages when running as a forced install, e.g. using the ExtensionInstallForceList.
• Changed
  • The log start time is now set when recording starts - not on the arrival of the first network or console event.
  • Updated Chrome and Edge extensions - version 16 or later is now required.
