XDM Browser Monitor v8+ intercepts cookies and request headers from all browser traffic and forwards them to a local download manager app.

The extension attaches to all outgoing HTTP and HTTPS requests to capture headers including Cookie and Authorization values. When a URL matches a remotely-configured watchlist, it also forwards the tab URL and page title. Session cookies are additionally collected via chrome.cookies.getAll and sent to the local XDM app at 127.0.0.1:8597 over unencrypted HTTP, including during user-triggered download actions.
