Details

Sometimes developers don't have control over the content-type header a server puts out, and this can lead the netmonitor to bail on trying to provide a preview or a searchable tree. We can try to guess what the body of the response is, but we can also give developers the ability to 'view as' a set of common content types starting with application/json

Use case: Amazon S3 is mis-configured to return octet/stream for json files, the admin is off work for the weekend (etc)

Other common types: images like jpeg / png / gif?
xml would be nice too
Product: Firefox → DevTools
Severity: normal → S3
