HTTP Archive or HAR

Overview: An HTTP Archive or HAR is a file that contains a log of all the requests and responses that occur between a web browser and a web server during a browsing session. HAR files are commonly used to debug or analyze web applications because they provide detailed information about each request. If you are experiencing an issue with BrainStorm that cannot be resolved, our support team may request an HAR.

To export an HTTP Archive, enable Developer Tools for your browser (see instructions below for your browser).
