Steps to reproduce:

Hello,

I would find it useful to be able to look at individual messages in event streams (server sent events) or WebSocket connections even while the connection is still up, to debug web application.

I'd expect such a feature in the network tab of the developer's tool, when showing the details of a request. An example of implementation of this feature can be found in Chromium.

Related to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=885508, however, that bug is specific to WebSockets, and the description specifically says that showing WS messages is redundant with the possibility of using debugger to show the websocket messages, which I don't think it is. Using the Network tab to monitor messages per connection would be much more convenient.

Work on this should be starting soon.
