The interface must be able to be used to control the software for IE or Firefox and to access data in the log files making it possible to develop custom reports and automate repetitive tasks. -The solution must be able to accurately record timing information and display it down to the millisecond (0.001 sec). -The solution must be able to support filtering of requests by content types, response codes, URLs, headers and content. -The solution must be able to work with systems that have HTTP compression enabled, display the expanded content and provide information about the compression savings achieved. -The solution must be able to sort data by clicking on a column heading. The sort order must then be applied to existing items and used to order new items as they appear. -Whenever a cookie is sent to a web server only its name and value appear in the HTTP request message. The solution must be able to display the associated domain, path and expiration data making it easier to determine why a particular cookie value is being used. It must also show the HttpOnly and Secure flags along with the source of the cookie value. -The solution must be able to show DNS lookups, TCP connects, IP addresses and ports used by an HTTP request.
