I don't know if its from one of Chromes recent updates I don't know if its an option I managed to turn off unknowingly. But either way sometime in the Past couple of days my Console Log on Chrome stopped showing post/get requests so I can see whats going on as far as whats being posted and what the response is being sent back, I know it wasn't exactly like firebug on firefox but similar none the less.

If firebug on chrome didn't get in my way more than it was helpful I would use it, but its to intrusive to my needs in chrome as I can't scroll all the way down an all else. And everytime I refresh the page I lose my data I am trying to track for bugs.

So Question is, is there a means of turning this back on? The ability to see the POST/GET requests/responses. I know I can turn on "Log XMLHttpRequests" but that only shows me what functions are being fired off, and not the actual posted data or response.

  • Not sure about how to turn this on, but http://www.fiddler2.com/fiddler2/ will do this and it bypasses chrome. – Liam Mar 27 '13 at 15:03
  • Now, that may be helpful for somethings, but 2 problems I have with it at the moment, is one thats going to output more information that I need from all streams open at the time (from the sound of it). Two I am also on a Mac :-) – chris Mar 27 '13 at 15:06

Open the console, then check "Preserve Log".

If you want to see AJAX post/get requests/response do the following:

  1. Open the console
  2. Right-click into the console log stream
  3. Check or select "Log XMLHttpRequests"

Here is an image of what im talking about

right click on console area, select "Preserve Log Upon Navigation" then refresh the page ( or do any get/post operation) the GET/POST logs will be visible.

alternately, the "Network" tab is also useful to check the GET/POST events.

make sure you don't miss anything like this - Chrome: console.log, console.debug are not working
