884800 - Be more explicit about connection failures

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(DevTools :: Console, defect, P3)

Description

[Dirkjan Ochtman (:djc)]

When requests fail to connect to the server (i.e. Unable to connect error page), the Console fails to make that easy to spot.

[14:55:42.647] GET http://127.0.0.1:10002/include.js [251ms]

It doesn't include any HTTP response code here, because there wasn't a response, but the timing for successful cases indicates that a response has been received. When clicking the console line, the Inspect Network Request dialog has an empty Status Code field, and shows the Request Headers, but no Response section. In other words, while you can deduce that the request has failed, both the console itself and the inspection dialog fail to make the failure explicit (let alone clarify the kind of failure).

HTTP code is now included in the new console.
