Examples

This example will append "extra stuff" to the response:

function listener(details) {
  let filter = browser.webRequest.filterResponseData(details.requestId);
  let encoder = new TextEncoder();

  filter.ondata = event => {
    // pass through all the response data
    filter.write(event.data);
  }

  filter.onstop = event => {
    filter.write(encoder.encode("extra stuff"));
    filter.disconnect();
  }
}

browser.webRequest.onBeforeRequest.addListener(
  listener,
  {urls: ["https://example.com/*"], types: ["main_frame"]},
  ["blocking"]
);

Here's another version of the example above:

function listener(details) {
  let filter = browser.webRequest.filterResponseData(details.requestId);
  let encoder = new TextEncoder();

  let data = [];
  filter.ondata = event => {
    data.push(event.data);
  };

  filter.onstop = event => {
    for (let buffer of data) {
      filter.write(buffer);
    }
    filter.write(encoder.encode("extra stuff"));
    filter.close();
  };
}

browser.webRequest.onBeforeRequest.addListener(
  listener,
  {urls: ["https://example.com/"], types: ["main_frame"]},
  ["blocking"]
);
