Another use case could be simple sharing of HAR files that describe specific page load situation. For example, any time I am facing a bug that is related to e.g. page load performance I tend to attach a HAR file to the report. Easier would be to attach a link. Firebug + NetExport extension already allow to export all data collected by the Net panel and there is also an online viewer that helps to preview a HAR file (note that HAR report can be done by other tools too e.g. HTTPWatch). The missing piece here is, as you proposing, an online service where the HAR log could be sent to. As soon as the log is online it can be simply previewed e.g. by HAR viewer (or any other tool) without necessity to deal with files. Working link example: http://www.softwareishard.com/har/viewer?inputUrl=http://www.janodvarko.cz/har/viewer/examples/inline-scripts-block.harp Where 'inputUrl' specifies URL of an online HAR file (since JSONP is used here for cross domain XHR, the file uses *.harp extension in this case). > Having said all that, just collecting HARs on a server vs. collecting > them on a local drive might be useful in general for automated testing > and all. Yes, also I think that the "minimal beacon" (described in the issue 58) idea fits perfectly HAR log too (e.g. often network responses bodies don't have to be logged, which can dramatically reduce size of the file). The problem I see is the online storage, if the service is publicly available, there can be soon substantial amount of data and any limitation (e.g. releasing older logs) could reduce the benefit...
