I am developing on Linux/Debian/x86-64 an application which runs a specialized Web server using libonion -an HTTP server library- (FWIW, my application is the MELT monitor, related to the MELT domain specific language to customize GCC).

That application has a web interface, accessible thru http://localhost:8086/

I'm using a recent Firefox (Debian Iceweasel 38.3) and/or Chrome beta 47.0 as my browser.

(I could switch to some other recent HTML5 conformant browser, if it is easier; I need debugging tools in it)

During the debugging phase, I constantly need to restart my application and reload some localhost URL... (e.g. http://localhost:8086/hackc.html for example).

Of course, it is much easy to debug such an application if my web browser is in a clean state (no cached data or state related to localhost:8086localhost:8086).

Is there any way to configure my browser (perhaps thru some addon or whatever extension) so that clearing all its state related to localhost:8086, in particular cookies and file cache, is very easy and convenient? Ideally it would be a button or a menu entry near the browser toolbar! Or perhaps some shell script to clean whatever is relevant inside ~/.mozilla/ ?

Of course I do not want to disturb any other state in my browser (e.g. I certainly don't want to forget cookies logging me to stackoverflow or my corporate webmail...). I only want to clean what is tied to localhost:8086
