In some cases our support will ask you to submit a HAR file (HTTP archive) for analysis of a reported error. This HAR file enables the support team to analyze difficulties in the interaction with the Frontend in detail and to reproduce error patterns that cannot be reproduced otherwise.
In the following you will learn how to generate this HAR file.
Please note that when creating a HAR file, any password transfers are stored in plain text. These must be manually removed from the file before being sent to us.
