were asked to collect a HTTP log file.
Usually, this action is performed to track down a bug in your

the bug.

Web Sessions list.
Click File | Save | All Sessions... and save the
.SAZ file to your
desktop.

done.

If you have a problem performing any of these steps, contact your
debugging buddy and tell them at which step there was a problem. Be sure to
communicate any error messages you encountered.
