Consider capturing third party requests to first parties #52

Open biancadanforth opened 7 years ago

A follow-up issue from #42 .

From @jonathanKingston :

Third party scripts can load a first party as if it were a third party script. a.com/blah.js -> b.com/tracking-spam.js -> a.com/thing.js

The current code for data capture does not account for this, though since we do capture first party requests to third parties, the edge between the two sites would be represented on a directed force graph already.

Do we want to capture this information, and if so, how? What would we do with it?

After initial testing of google.co.uk I see .com being a first and third party in my storage. We should address how these are stored and drawn.
