1566093 - Network Monitor Full URI path

Status: NEW

(DevTools :: Netmonitor, enhancement, P3)

Description

[Jordan]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.14; rv:68.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/68.0

Steps to reproduce:

request any resource with a path depth greater than 1

Actual results:

Only see full path if request ends in / or on hover

Expected results:

Full path should be available regardless of trailing slash.

Most RSTful architechtures treat trailing slashes as collections of resources, and a non-trailing path as single resource.

Bug ref 903465 chose a solution to show full path on hover or when uri ends in /

I think it should be the other way around, by showing full path unless a path ends with a file extension (.jpg, .png, .txt etc.) but before a querystring. Or perhaps based on mime type.

/foo/bar -> full path
/foo/bar/ -> full path
/foo/bar/?filter=baz -> full path
/foo/bar?filter=baz -> full path

/foo/bar.baz -> file path
/foo/bar.baz?test=1 -> file path

Apologies for dredging up an issue from half a decade ago. I've never done work on Firefox but if point me in the right direction I might be able to make a PR (with some help)

Hi Jordan,

Thanks for the details. I was able to reproduce the bug on release 68.0 (64-bit). I've chosen a component. If you consider that there's another component that's more proper for this case you may change it.

Best regards, Flor.
