# Perform a diff on Chromium versions
Use the API at chromium.googlesource.com like so
https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+log/<versionA>..<versionB>?<include any options for presentation or neatness>

Options will need the '?' operator and include:
pretty - fuller: decompress explanation of the bug
n - <number greater than 0>: Number of commits you want appearing per page.

For example:
https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+log/65.0.3325.146..65.0.3325.209?pretty=fuller&n=10000

curl --proxy username:pw@localhost:3788 https://my-site-under-test.com -v -o /dev/null


with a proxy
curl --proxy username:[email protected]:port https://some-website.com -v


to dump extra data with curl: remove any -v, -vvvv, etc.. add
--trace-ascii /dev/stdout
