For example, one of the HTTP requests sent by this module is a GET request to the "/crx/explorer/browser/index.jsp" path. It then applies several matching conditions to the response, including:

- Title: The response should contain the HTML title tag "<title>Content Explorer - UserID: anonymous | Workspace: crx.default</title>". - Content Type: The response header should include the "text/html" content type. - Status Code: The response should have a status code of 200 (OK).
