- Error Reporting with HAR Files
- Kent Gerber, University of Minnesota Libraries, will demonstrate how to use the Chrome browser “Developer Tools” feature to create a HAR file which can be used to report network errors you experience while using DSpace. A HAR (HTTP Archive) file is a JSON-formatted log of a web browser's interaction with a website, capturing network requests and responses to help diagnose performance issues, errors, and other web-related problems. This demonstration continues this topic from the August 2025 DCAT meeting.
