HttpWatch vs netcat

HttpWatch is a Windows desktop tool for recording and examining browser network activity. It captures requests and responses to help analyze performance and diagnose website problems. The product works with Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge version 105 or later, on Windows 10 or later and Windows Server 2016 or later. Its logs include request headers, cookies, query strings, timing data, browser-cache activity, and console output. Logs can be saved as HWL files or exported as HAR, XML, or CSV. An automation interface and API collect performance data from automated website tests. HttpWatch also checks for potentially weak SSL configurations and certain cookie-security problems, including missing Secure or SameSite attributes. Suspected password fields are masked in saved logs. The free Basic Edition records activity but limits detailed information to certain sites. Paid licenses include one year of maintenance and priority support.
