I think this is an excellent idea.

Please open a feature request.

No promises on timeline, but I'll certainly investigate it. If anyone
else wants to look into this, please speak up. There are many ways it
could be implemented, and it might make an interesting standalone project.

      <div>.har files are JSON so they're easy to parse, and they
        contain all the info needed to replicate HTTP requests. Using
        them to get the ball rolling on a load test would save a lot of

        Grinder test, parameterize that test manually, and then replay
