BrowserMob does not capture post Payload data( getPostData() returns null )

Browsermob version (2.1.4) Embedded Mode

I have set the proxyServer.setHarCaptureTypes(CaptureType.REQUEST_HEADERS, CaptureType.REQUEST_CONTENT) ;

Still the getPostData on harRequest returns null.

My Sample code is pretty much same as example in docs but for my project URL. ` BrowserMobProxy proxy = new BrowserMobProxyServer(); proxy.start(0);

// get the Selenium proxy object
Proxy seleniumProxy = ClientUtil.createSeleniumProxy(proxy);

// configure it as a desired capability
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
capabilities.setCapability(CapabilityType.PROXY, seleniumProxy);

// start the browser up
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(capabilities);

// enable more detailed HAR capture, if desired (see CaptureType for the complete list)
proxy.enableHarCaptureTypes(CaptureType.REQUEST_CONTENT, CaptureType.RESPONSE_CONTENT);

// create a new HAR with the label "yahoo.com"
proxy.newHar("MyProject");

// open yahoo.com
driver.get("My URL");

// get the HAR data

List <HarEntry> entries = proxy.getHar().getEntries().stream().filter(entry -> entry.getRequest().getMethod().equals(“POST”)).filter(entry -> entry.getRequest().getPostData().getText().contains(“abc”)).collect(Collectors.toList());`

.getPostData().getText() throws nullPointer exception.

Any Suggestions?

Nevermind I found the answer, I was just passing the parameter to the proxy creation instead of the HAR creation.

For other python users:

har_options = {'captureContent': True}
proxy.new_har(url, options=har_options)

Use proxyServer.enableHarCaptureTypes(...) to turn a capture type on without affecting other capture types. To use an HTTP analogy, enable... is like a POST, set... is like a PUT. The documentation for those methods explains this pretty well.
