The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::Networking' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

Works in 115; not sure when it regressed (haven't checked others)

Not here in 125.0a1. I can't upload an image, but it's there as expected on this website and on Google on MS Edge.

This seems to affect only HTTP2 and HTTP3 requests, and it might have been regressed by Bug 1687903.

Valentin, just checking, but is it still correct and relevant to show "OK" as the status message for a HTTP2/3 request?

Comment 5

[Julian Descottes [:jdescottes]]

:nchevobbe spotted that HTTP2 no longer supports the status message (https://fetch.spec.whatwg.org/#concept-response-status-message) so this behavior might be expected.

H2 and H3 responses don't have a status text.

I don't think showing OK next to the H2 200 necessarily brings any benefit.
Chrome does show it, but they don't have the ? link to MDN.
In my opinion it's fine to not show any status text, but if we think it's nicer for consistency we can map the status code to a status text when needed.

This bug has been marked as a regression. Setting status flag for Nightly to affected.

Comment 8

[Julian Descottes [:jdescottes]]

Thanks for the feedback. Given that this is technically correct, downgrading to P3.

I think it should also show descriptions in "Sataus" column, as same as Chromium.
