Convert HAR to PCAP

Can you convert HAR to PCAP?
QUICK ANSWER
Is it possible to convert HAR to PCAP?
No - not a direct conversion.

A HAR is an application-layer HTTP log, not packet capture - it lacks TCP/IP frames, so it cannot be turned into a true .pcap. To get packets, recapture with Wireshark/tcpdump instead.
