Monitor HTTP Requests made by iframe in node webkit

Question

I am developing a node webkit app which loads an iframe. Is there any module in nodejs which will allow me to track all the POST requests made by the iframe?

I have seen there are certain node modules which allow you to track requests made by the server, but I wont be creating a nodejs server as such and I would like to track the requests made by the iframe only.

I believe you can't monitor an iframe requests due to same-origin policy restrictions. There are a few workarounds, maybe one of them might work for you

• If you have access to the iframe code, see this question on how to circumvent the same-origin policy
• You can load the content of the iframe using jQuery .load(), then tracking it is easy as it is a part of the same page.
• what are you trying to track? there are few thing you can track. for examples s Iframe Activity Monitor and iframeTracker-jquery
