Experiment with BrowserMob implementation

[gingeleski]

Trying to do this as a means to an end for #5 + #6

About to push... when I say "buggy" in the commit message, I mean the following is going on

(venv) PS C:\Users\gingeleski\workspace\headbro> python headbro.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "headbro.py", line 51, in <module>
    browsermob_server.start()

After this bug is overcome, will need to refer to the following example (credit here) for Chrome hooks...

from browsermobproxy import Server
server = Server("path/to/browsermob-proxy")
server.start()
proxy = server.create_proxy()

from selenium import webdriver
chrome_options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
chrome_options.add_argument("--proxy-server={0}".format(proxy.proxy))
browser = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options = chrome_options)

proxy.new_har("google")
driver.get("http://www.google.co.uk")
proxy.har # returns a HAR JSON blob

server.stop()
driver.quit()

One problem seemed to be that Java wasn't on the path.

P.S. error output from Browsermob sucks

And the whole folder inside the initial zip from Github's releases section must be preserved.

Otherwise saw -

Error: Could not find or load main class net.lightbody.bmp.proxy.Main

Apparently the whole time this was Browsermob being finnicky about path - like the path argument I was giving it from Python.

That's working now, but need to test further to see how well this is working with the proxy.
