Capturing Network Traffic Headers for a Specific File using Python

I want to capture headers for a specific name from the network traffic. I saw other answers on stackoverflow that talks about using browser mob and all. But what should I do to capture specific header. For example in the image I have uploaded

image,

let's consider the file with Name = id always appears in a link and I want to capture the header (specifically the url) of this file. This

image2

As soon as a file with Name = id appears I should get its Request URL. What should I do for that and also I want to capture the cookie as well.

Any help would me much appreciated. Thank you.

Okay if you want to capture the request url of a file and as you said you know the format of the url and you can identify it from many urls then for that you can try this function:

def get_url(args):
    network_logs = driver.execute_script("var performance = window.performance || window.mozPerformance || "
                                         "window.msPerformance || window.webkitPerformance || {}; var network = "
                                         "performance.getEntries() || {}; return network;")
    for network_log in network_logs:
        name = network_log.get("name", "")
        if "your_url_identifier" in name:
            return name
    return False

You can call this method directly after

browser.get(url)

and it will return you the request url which has the string your_url_identifier in it. Something like this:

browser.get(url)
file_link = WebDriverWait(browser, 1000).until(get_url)

This get_url method will keep running until either the desired url is captured or the time (1000 seconds in this example) is over.

Try and let me know if it works.
