Thanks Phil,
I'd like to open a feature request, but I'm so new that I don't even see wh=
ere to do it. Can you give me a URL for feature request submissions?

Subject: Re: [Grinder-development] Grinder feature request

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 i=
mplemented, and it might make an interesting standalone project.

Hi,
I've started using The Grinder for load testing at Shutterfly.com. One thin=
g we'd like to be able to do is take a .har file (HTTP archive file) as dum=
ped from the Chrome Developer Tools or from Firebug+NetExport and feed that=
 transcript of HTTP traffic into The Grinder to generate the basic skeleton=
 of a load test.

.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 requirements-gathering and coding time. I co=
uld simply have an internal customer surf some pages that they want us to l=
oad test, capture that as a .har file, transform it to a basic Grinder test=
, parameterize that test manually, and then replay that traffic.

Shouldn't be too hard and it would greatly increase the value of The Grinde=
r. I even have bits of python I could post here to explain what I mean.
