What should be implemented/improved? When the browser makes a HTTP PATCH method request, there is no option in the Firebug net tab to view the request body (or "payload"). This is available for POST and PUT requests.

The most you can infer about the body is the content length header.

Viewing the request body/payload works correctly in Chrome Developer tools "net" tab

Firebug version: 1.11.1 Browser version: 17.0.1 Operating system: Ubuntu/12.11

I should add the Response body from the server is viewable.

Could you please provide a test case with steps to reproduce?

Created a test case for this[1], which is working for me (FF 20.0.1 + FB 1.11.2 + Win7). Because there was no further feedback until now, I finally close this issue.

The issue is that, "request" body is not visible. What was the PATCH payload sent from the browser. This works in chrome inspector. Attaching screenshots below : Patch in Chrome Inspector : https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/204155/dontdelete/patchinchrome.jpg

Now I see. Thanks for the clarification, Sid. I adjusted the test case accordingly.

Honza, I guess that's something for you. A simple fix would be to add a check for "PATCH" to the hidePost() function[1]. Though I believe we also need to adjust the tab name to "Request Body" and some function names, which are currently named with "Post".

This issue is related to issue 6411.

Is this going to get fixed in a coming build ?

Yes. Fixed that in https://github.com/firebug/firebug/commit/415f47a4c678d35ad10ff00629d734ceb4aa2ee6 by simply adding a "Patch" tab.

Regarding the refactoring I created issue 6537, so this fix isn't blocked by that.

This issue has been fixed in Firebug 1.12 beta 1 https://getfirebug.com/releases/firebug/1.12/firebug-1.12.0b1.xpi

Please try it and let us know if it works for you.

Thanks for the help! Honza
