Bug 30080 – Web Inspector: Show content for plugin requests in network panel.

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: Web Inspector (Deprecated)

[Patrick Mueller]

In the Resources panel, the resource data (HTTP response data) is not always displayed.

See Bug 28812, comment 6.

A case where this occurs is when loading the URL:

   http://www.lumacentral.com/CocaCola/index.html

One of the resources, named "execBatch" has an HTTP response which is not displayed.  Here is a replay of the individual resource request in curl.  As you can see, there actually is some content coming from the request.

$ curl -H "Content-Type: application/xml" -d "<lw2p-requests><lw2p-request
action='getCurrentPortal'/></lw2p-requests>" -v

Note that Bug 30079 concerns the same base URL for it's problem.   In talking to Jeroen Bensch, the originator of the problem requests, seems like 30079 may be a root cause here.  May want to investigate that one first.

[Patrick Mueller]

Jeroen, I'm wondering if those execBatch XHR calls are happening in the .swf movie itself.  I poked around the resources available from the original site, and didn't see any references to the execBatch urls.

This may explain why the resource content doesn't show up - there is a separate path to obtain the resource than other paths the browser goes through to get files.  Not that it's necessarily right, but it would explain a bit.

In fact, I just poked on the resource selectors, and noticed these execBatch URLs are showing up under "Other".  As is the .swf file itself, presumably loaded through an "embed" or "object" element (or whatever).

It's interesting that everything seems to be available for these resources, except the actual content.  Maybe it won't take much to hook that up.  Will need to investigate the plugin goop, I guess.

[Timothy Hatcher]

The Web Inspector does not know how to render "Other" content right now. We might have the data, but we don't attempt to show it.

We need to know what type of data to pick the view that shows it. We try to do this based on the category the engine tells us, images, etc. I think we also look at mime type.

Sounds like we can DUP this for the existing Bug 14259

[Jeroen Bensch]

I'm following your reasoning and discussion here, but I don't know how I could help.

Thanks though for looking into it. I thought the reason why it wasn't shown is that because everything in that .swf file comes back as xml (with appropriate header) and you just discarded that when trying to show the response payload.

This is clearly worth a test.

Make these private + a friend of the NetworkResourceData.
