The Capture All option controls how much navigation information is stored in the CCL. The Capture All option enables the recording of all GET and POST URLs navigated during the capture process in the CCL, therefore, you do not have to go through intermediate URLs before getting to the target page because UA remembers the final URL of the page that you want to capture and play back, along with any intermediate URLs that are generated by HTTP Post requests. These latter URLs typically result from submitting form data. During playback, these URLs are submitted in order and the resulting page content is returned to the client browser.
For some sites, the backend Web servers require the user to navigate through all the GET requests before they can reach a destination page, which can result in not getting to the correct page. In this situation, it may be necessary to include other intermediate HTTP requests (that is, HTTP GET requests) so that the correct client state can be established and the desired page returned. If you suspect this situation is occurring, select the Capture All option to request that during the capture phase, UA should record all significant HTTP requests against the Web server from which the page is being captured.
