Attachment: network_tab_missing_post.png

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; WOW64; rv:28.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/28.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20131102080838

Steps to reproduce:

Perform an XMLHttpRequest that sends a POST data in JSON format (or any format that is not like a=b&c=d ....


Actual results:

The only way to see the posted data is by clicking "Edit and resend". There the posted data is displayed correctly in the "Request Body" textarea.


Expected results:

The posted data should have been visible as a separate section in the Headers tab or in the Params tab in a similar way like form data is currently displayed.

Do you see the POST data in the web console's network panel? Click on the POST request.

Comment 4

[Marian Kostadinov]

Nope, it's not displayed there.

Thanks for checking. Can you please provide us with a test page?

Yes, there it is:

I found out when this happens - when this one is set:
[setRequestHeader ("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=utf-8");]

I give 4 examples - with and without this header + classic post vs JSON post data.
Only the combination of the header and the JSON post data does not work.

Moving this to the webconsole since it seems to be a problem with the actors (comment 4).

The test page still works (thanks  Marian Kostadinov for a very helpful test page!). The Params tab currently shows the JSON object, so I believe this can be closed.
