Feature from Firebug's net panel. Example:

1. Head to http://codepad.org/
2. Open the Network panel
3. Click on "Submit"

Right-click on the first request item (sent as POST) should have a "Copy POST Parameters" option, that copies form data like so:

code=
lang=C
run=True
submit=Submit

Fix "Copy URL Parameters" line separation on Windows.

Drive-by fix: In a previous patch, I forgot to use `string` instead of `params.join("\n")`, causing single-line pastes in Windows' Notepad.

Victor, please have a look.

Implement "Copy POST Data" context menu item.

One of the last context menu items before Firebug-parity.
I had to factor out some form data code.
Victor, please have a look.

Tentative "checkin-needed", but the oranges look worrying. Please don't land if they persist.
Keywords: checkin-needed
Not to worry, I submitted that try push twice, and the other one doesn't have oranges:

Fix "Copy URL Parameters" line separation on Windows.

Please uplift this fix to Firefox40 (Aurora).

[Feature/regressing bug #]: "Copy URL Parameters" context menu added by bug 1150717 has a surprizing result on Windows (no line breaks in legacy editors like Notepad).

[User impact if declined]: "Copy URL Parameters" will continue to paste as a single line in Windows editors like Notepad.

[Describe test coverage new/current, TreeHerder]: The test only use single parameters, so the multi-line issue wasn't detected early.

[Risks and why]: No risk, it's a trivial fix.

[String/UUID change made/needed]: None.

Implement "Copy POST Data" context menu item.

Please uplift this new context menu item to Firefox40 (Aurora).

[Feature/regressing bug #]: None (gap from Firebug).

[User impact if declined]: Users won't be able to copy POST data using the context menu.

[Describe test coverage new/current, TreeHerder]: This uses the same test as "Copy URL Parameters", but adds a few checks for POST data.

[Risks and why]: Small. Some adjacent code was lightly refactored, and a test was modified.

[String/UUID change made/needed]: New `netmonitorUI.context.copyPostData` string + access key.

I'd like to get this into aurora for June 2. As has been discussed a few times with l10n people, strings in devtools are often not translated as it is, and in this case the string in question is almost entirely technical jargon so I don't consider adding a new string here to be a huge problem.

Let's take it in 40. Anyway, I know how to find you in case of regression ;)

CCing Pike about the string addition.
Ugh, talking to us and getting to the same resolution doesn't seem to be the same thing, apparently.

We hard-coded the strings to English in the other devtools bugs.

The question should have really come before landing the strings (the bug Pike is referring to is bug 1163763).
