1307643 - [Feature request] Network tab request/response XML content display

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(DevTools :: Netmonitor, enhancement, P3)

Description

[alonando]

The one feature that prevents me from using the new Firefox Development tools over Firebug is that there is no Request payload data formatting done for XML. 

Firebug analyzes the request Content-Type (or infers it) and it will 'pretty print' XML data in the Params Request payload display. 

Please add this feature. You are already doing it for JSON. Where's the love for XML?

thanks

I meant to say you are already formatting XML on the Response. Please do the same for the Request payload in the Params 'tab'. :-)

Can you please test this again in current Firefox Nightly build?
This might be already fixed by bug 1309605

I tested on nightly 53.0a1 (2016-11-18) (64-bit) and this is not working yet. The 'Request payload' XML shows as a 'flat' string in a single line that you have to scroll horizontally. The response from the server does show as a nicely formatted XML document, color highlighted etc. So I know the capabilities are already there, they just need to be enabled for the Request payload.

thanks

Clear a needinfo that is pending on an inactive user.

Inactive users most likely will not respond; if the missing information is essential and cannot be collected another way, the bug maybe should be closed as INCOMPLETE.
