Dear EO team,

is it possible to get the initiator of a request as it is available in the chrome devtools with the actual url (html or js file), line number, etc. I have found the "Initiator" property on the request, but it only gives me the origin, i.e. the domain of the file, from which the request originated. I need the full url to be able to visualize a graph of requests being made.

From what I've found in the chromium documentation, this seems to be publically available (for extensions) since Chrome 63, see https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/webRequest#property-details-initiator and https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=157919. In your change log, the latest engine update I could find was from November 2017 from V54 to V62. Therefore, I assume this is not yet available. Is it nonetheless already possible to get this information, or is an update planned, which will include this?

Thanks for your help!

Cheers,
Christoph

I do not believe this information is available. The link you posted is from extension --- which we do not support. So even if we update to a newer browser engine it still won't be available. Sorry about it!
