Bug 123026 – REGRESSION (Safari 6): Web Inspector: Cannot view request data/pretty printed JSON if mime type is inconsistent

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: DUPLICATE
• Component: Web Inspector

[Dave Coffin]

There are several places in the new inspector where it presents data based on the MIME Type header. For example, if you are trying to view pretty printed JSON, it will not let you if your MIME Type is text/html. In the old inspector, this was ignored. 

Even more frustrating, you cannot even see the request data for a HTTP request if your MIME Type isn't application/json. There are many situations where one might not have control over this header information, whether its internally set by a different department (and a hassle to get changed) or if you're trying to use a public API. 

In my application of web inspector, I write front end interactions with an internal API in my company and with external APIs. I view responses to GETs and form data for PUTs all day long. This is the thing I use most, and as of right now its almost useless in the new inspector.
