Would be nice if 'confess.js' would have support for login.
Many "pages" that need a performance analyze are behind a login (e.g. after login and redirect to a new page)

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I'm testing confess with http://netzpolitik.org/ which has an https redirect. I've tried also the phantomjs option on ignore https error, but still the script freeze.

Probably the page is not loaded at all, that's the output:

TypeError: 'undefined' is not an object (evaluating 'smallest.size')

    confess.js:121
    confess.js:401

Not sure if this would be interesting to anyone else but I patched confess.js to color the waterfall based on X-Cache header that can be sent by Varnish: http://www.varnish-cache.org/trac/wiki/VCLExampleHitMissHeader

Maybe an interesting idea ?

I get this error when I run following command:

phantomjs confess.js http://www.rafalkuczynski.com

My version of phantomjs is 1.3.0 and I am running MacOS X Lion

The given total size here was not the same with the amount in the real browser using Network Devtool under the transferred.

I'd like to analyze the network traffic if I can persist my cookie generated from a previous run.

So for instance with curl I can

# save a cookie
curl -c mycookie https://someurl
# reuse a cookie
curl -b mycookie https://someotherurl

And in confess.js I'd like to either create one using the same switch or use one

# save a cookie
phantomjs confess.js -c mycookie https://someurl
# reuse a cookie
phantomjs confess.js -b mycookie https://someotherurl

If I can figure it out, I'll try to make a PR

I am new to phantomjs scripting and I understand it is possible to send a POST request using page.open() method. Is it possible to use confess.js or modify it to send a POST request?

Also, currently only the URLs and pagetimings are listed. How do I fetch the response body and write to a file?

Hi James,

I've enjoyed playing with confess so far. I'd like to use it indeed to generate our manifest files. It's worked well to find all js, css files and inline images. But it's failed to find any images defined in CSS files in background-images rules.
I understand most of the confess.js script but i'm not too familiar with document.styleSheets and co, so i'm not sure what you're looking for.

Could you please test if the resources defined in CSS file are really included in CACHE output?

Code below does not seem to generate anything:
foreach (document.styleSheets, function (stylesheet) {
foreach (stylesheet.rules, function(rule) {
if (!rule['style']) { return; }
foreach (properties, function(property) {
...
}, this);
}, this);
}, this);

Thank you / Matt

PS: Charles Proxy (www.charlesproxy.com) is a great tool btw if you want to see what resources are being downloaded.

Is it possible to create a Main function and try to execute confess multiple times with different web pages...

For example execute confess with the next pages:
http://facebook.com
http://google.com
http://yahoo.com
...

"creating a cache manifest file to make your apps run offline."

Does code or some tool exist to do this?

Thanks!
