is there a way to trace all the calls made by a web page when loading it? Say for example I went in a video watching site, I would like to trace all the GET calls recursively until I find an mp4/flv file. I know a way to do that would be to follow the URLs recursively, but this solution is not always suitable and quite limitative( say there's a few thousand links, or the links are in a file which can't be read). Is there a way to do this? Ideally, the implementation could be in python, but PHP as well as C is fine too
Chrome provides a built-in tool for seeing the network connections. Press Ctrl+Shift+J to open the JavaScript Console. Then open the Network tab to see all of the GET/POST calls.
