The General tab of the Options dialog contains the following options to configure HttpWatch:

Automatically check for Updates

This controls whether HttpWatch checks for new updates automatically and prompts the user to upgrade when a suitable update found. (Automatic update checking can be disabled for all users by setting a registry key)

Clear log when recording starts

If this check box is selected the log is automatically cleared whenever recording is started interactively.

Confirm Cache and Cookie Clearing

This controls whether a confirmation dialog is displayed when one of the clearing options is used on the Tools menu.

Save Additional Diagnostics

Only use this option when requested to do so by HttpWatch support. It saves additional information into HWL files and can help us diagnose problems.

Record Console Output (Chrome and Edge only)

Uncheck this option to disable the recording of the browser's console output.
