Description Jim Mahood 2004-12-10 15:50:44 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.3.0)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
OS:                Linux

Well, I know this is asking alot, and if I had more useful programming skills, I'd undertake it myself.  That being said, my wishlist item is for a konqueror livehttpheaders feature, like the one for mozilla that can be seen here:

http://livehttpheaders.mozdev.org/

It's very useful for debugging web apps and for surviving on the world wide windows web.

The response headers are already visible.  CTRL+I or View->Document Information.  Request headers are not likely to be implemented.  I don't think they're particularly necessary anyway, do you?
Comment 2 Waldo Bastian 2004-12-10 18:05:55 UTC
If you compile with debug info enabled http will be able to log both request and response headers to file.

See the last section in kdebase/kioslave/DEBUG.howto

It might be useful to make that possible with non-debug builds as well indeed.
Comment 3 Jim Mahood 2004-12-10 19:55:50 UTC
The Document Information dialog is good, but I can't select any values in
there, so it's not that useful to me.

Request headers are useful for debugging authorization and/or cookie problems.  Or, for instance, if I'm on a site that maintains state with cookies and want to fetch something with a different client, or from a different host (with wget, for instance), that requires that cookie value, a quick look at the request headers gives me what I need.  Otherwise, I have to go through the cookie configuration, find the host, and reconstruct the Cookie header myself, since Name/value pairs are broken out into separate fields in there.
Comment 4 George Staikos 2004-12-10 19:59:06 UTC
 So adding a copy action would be sufficient?

Comment 5 Jim Mahood 2004-12-10 20:37:15 UTC
Making that text copyable would be helpful in general, but not sufficient for what I'm requesting.  I like the debug logging that Waldo pointed out, and I agree that it would be helpful to make this available with non-debug builds.  That would certainly be sufficient.
Comment 6 George Staikos 2004-12-10 21:14:50 UTC
Ok then Waldo gets it back. :-)
