Bug 170525 – Web Inspector: Only Capture Extra Network Load Metrics when there is a Web Inspector Frontend

• Component: Web Inspector
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Joseph Pecoraro]

Summary:
Only Capture Extra Network Load Metrics when there is a Web Inspector Frontend

To limit any potential performance impact from making another copy of all HTTP Headers, only do this work in the NetworkProcess if the WebProcess has a Web Inspector frontend open.

We can extend this to a few other Metrics properties as well.

This prevents copying of headers in NetworkProcess, Serializing across to the WebProcess, and potentially copying of the HTTPHeaderMap in the WebProcess. It also avoids setting a few other properties only needed for Web Inspector (and a few others are coming).

This needs to be inside of a USE(NETWORK_SESSION) block. Fixed locally.

Might want to consider sending only the modified headers if this can be easily done.

Can you rebase it?

It depends on a patch that hasn't landed yet (hence the "All Parts" patch). But I'll go ahead and land the earlier part and put up a new patch.

The compiler should optimize this, I aimed for the code to have maximum readability / clarity.
