Support for /json/new

[jkrems]

Chrome supports the following:

# Open a new blank tab/page
<ANY> /json/new

# Open a new blank tab with a given url
<ANY> /json/new?<url>

I'd like to see this being a <ANY> (Chrome uses it internally as GET but exposes it via any other http verb) so that it's future compatible with things like webdriver-like capability requests in a POST/PUT body.

Expected response is the same schema as one element in the /json-array.

Example request:

> curl -XPOST localhost:3058/json/new\?http://www.google.com
{
   "description": "",
   "devtoolsFrontendUrl": "/devtools/devtools.html?ws=localhost:3058/devtools/page/5DC5F978-E0B2-7DB4-8962-7CB0AC46AD1A",
   "id": "5DC5F978-E0B2-7DB4-8962-7CB0AC46AD1A",
   "title": "",
   "type": "page",
   "url": "http://www.google.com/",
   "webSocketDebuggerUrl": "ws://localhost:3058/devtools/page/5DC5F978-E0B2-7DB4-8962-7CB0AC46AD1A"
}

Good idea.

Do you know if there's any overview of the Chrome HTTP interface anywhere?

Unfortunately: no idea. For me it was mostly digging through the chromium sources. The following quote is the best starting point for going down the rabbit hole I found (devtools_adb_bridge.cc):

const char kPageListRequest[] = "GET /json HTTP/1.1\r\n\r\n";
const char kVersionRequest[] = "GET /json/version HTTP/1.1\r\n\r\n";
const char kClosePageRequest[] = "GET /json/close/%s HTTP/1.1\r\n\r\n";
const char kNewPageRequest[] = "GET /json/new HTTP/1.1\r\n\r\n";
const char kNewPageRequestWithURL[] = "GET /json/new?%s HTTP/1.1\r\n\r\n";
const char kActivatePageRequest[] =
    "GET /json/activate/%s HTTP/1.1\r\n\r\n";

Interesting, they got /close and /version too!

More stuff to do :)

I was also trying to find that list, and the best I could do is this (updated link and colour coded) version of the code that implements the exposed methods http://code.woboq.org/qt5/qtwebengine/src/3rdparty/chromium/content/browser/devtools/devtools_http_handler_impl.cc.html#468 (@jkrems devtools_adb_bridge.cc file you linked is not working anymore)

If we are updating this issue: https://github.com/buggerjs/bugger-daemon#api - this is my latest info, includes example response bodies/schemas.

Thanks man! I haven't made any progress, but the plan is to spent more time on this adaptor the next coming months.
