Request Grid |
|
The upper part of the HttpWatch window displays a scrollable list of captured HTTP requests and is automatically updated in the HttpWatch plug-in for IE as you access a web site. Clicking on a column heading will cause the data to be sorted in ascending order based on data in that column. A second click on the same column will reverse the sort order and display the data in descending order.
Details of the currently selected item are displayed in the request view.
The following columns are available in the request grid:
The time at which the request was started by Internet Explorer. This is an offset in hours, minutes and seconds from the first entry in the log.
The time in seconds to complete the request. This is measured from when Internet Explorer first started processing the request until the last byte of data is read from the response.
This is total number of bytes downloaded by Internet Explorer while reading the HTTP response and includes both the size of the HTTP headers and content. If you are tuning a web application you should try to minimize this value. For commonly encountered result values you can interpret this value as follows:
200 For an HTTP OK response this value is the size of HTTP response headers and content. If the content is compressed then this value will be the size of the compressed content plus the size of the uncompressed headers (the headers are never compressed). Also, when SSL encryption is used this value will be the encrypted size of the HTTP headers and content and will generally be slightly larger than a unencrypted version of the same request. To see more detail about the size of the content and compression savings achieved click on the Content Tab.
304 The value will be the size of the headers returned (304 responses never return content)
(Cache) The value will always be zero because no HTTP request was sent to the server
The HTTP method that was used when the request was sent.
If the request was successful then the HTTP status code will be shown here, e.g. 200 for OK, 404 for page not found, 403 permission denied or 304 if a requested resource has not been modified. In cases where the content was read from the cache without contacting the HTTP server, this column contains '(Cache)'.
The value 'Aborted' in this column indicates that Internet Explorer cancelled the HTTP operation before it completed. This can occur if images are being downloaded when you click on a link to a different page.
This shows the content's mime type for successful requests or the target URL for HTTP redirects.
The address of the web content being accessed, e.g. http://www.microsoft.com/default.asp. HttpWatch can reformat SAP portal URLs into an easier to read format. See for Working with SAP URLs more details.
