Is there a way to get the raw bytes of a response?

[molant]

For example, if the content is gzipped is there any way I can access the raw bytes? getResponseBody only seems to return a string and other events like dataReceived, etc. don't seem to have that data :(

You should first listen Network.responseReceived event to find requestId and then invoke Network.getResponseBody command to get response body.

If you need Java based solution, please review this sample code.

Finally do not forget to call Network.enable command to listen Network events.

Thanks @ui4j, but unfortunately this isn't exactly what I need.
Whenever I do a Network.getResonseBody I get the body text, not the original compressed bytes (if they were compressed).
Also when the response isn't text (like images) I get the following response (which is not very useful):

{
  "body": "",
  "base64Encoded": true
}

I'm using chrome remote interface but it doesn't seem to be a problem with it :(

AFAIK we don't have support for this now and no immediate plans to implement. cc @allada
Network responses are decoded in the Chromium /net layer a bit earlier than our instrumentation starts, so it's some effort to get the data.

Also unimplemented, but if the protocol exposed a way to set a proxy, then you could run a network proxy to grab these bytes. In the future, it's possible a .setProxy() method might surface, though I've only seen this person mention working on it. ¯\(ツ)/¯
