I realize that this existed before the new Network tab, but I think now would be a good time to add a comment.  To me, this seems backwards, as we would want to show request data if we have form parameters.  My guess is that that is either a security concern or we have a different UI for this?  Either way, I don't know why this is the case right now.

If the data is Form Parameters (x-www-form-urlencoded) then the data is key/value pairs like query string data. We show that in the "Headers" view like query string parameters. I suppose we could have a view here that shows them like query string parameters, but right now we only prefer showing a ContentView for requestData that is data.
