Why would running a full browser be relevant to knowing HTTP statuses of requests?



Our product works by taking a screenshot using a headless Chrome instance. In this case, it's helpful because we can look at not just the status code of the HTTP request to the page itself, but also any resources the page may fetch. This is particularly useful for SPAs, since they may return a 200 for the page itself, but an API call they make might return a non-200 when logged out.
