Traffic Capture

The Primo Studio traffic monitoring subsystem allows you to quickly and easily analyze communication with portals, websites, and web services, as well as generate Web requests in scripts based on the received data.

ATTENTION! To operate the Traffic, you must launch Studio with local administrator privileges.

The monitoring subsystem is presented by the Traffic, Pack properties, and Traffic filter panels.

The Traffic panel displays all requests and responses occurring on the user’s workstation in chronological order in real-time. To start recording traffic, you must click the Start button .

After clicking, requests will begin to appear in the panel table. The table displays the following data:

Result: request event code
Protocol: request protocol type
Host: remote machine name
URL: remote machine address
Body: request body size in bytes
Caching: caching information
Content Type

You can find out the request and response body text by clicking the ”+” icon in the request header.

To stop recording, you must click the Stop button
To delete selected requests from the list, you must click the Delete button
To clear the request list, you must click the Clear button
To get more detailed information about a request and response, you must select it in the Traffic panel, after which the information about it will be reflected in the Pack properties panel.

The top of the panel contains information about the request, and the bottom contains information about the response. The information in the panel is divided into categories:

Headers: information about the headers
Text: request body text
Clean: request/response text in plain text (headers and body)
JSON: viewing the body data as JSON
XML: viewing the body data as XML

To pre-filter traffic, there is a Traffic filter panel: alt

In this panel, you can:

Enable tracking of CONNECT type requests
Enable interception of multimedia content requests
Create custom filters

In the custom filters table, you can create filters for specific request/response elements based on regular expressions. The filter contains the following elements:

Result
Protocol
Host
URL
Content Type (request)
Content Type (response)
Header (request)
Header (response)
Body (request)

For example, to filter requests only to websites with a URL including mail, you must create a filter with the URL Object and the expression .\*mail.\*
