Re: is there any way to read get the response body by default?

[Mingfai]

just a minor amendment. more exactly, it's not the simultaneous connection but a 2nd post will not get the same result as the first post. (it actually use Ajax to collect messages) My objective is to find a way to disable the Load Response feature and make it work similar to the 0.97.1 version. Thanks

i'm using firebug on two computers for developing an Ajax application.

On the first computer, I run Firefox 2 with Firebug 0.97.1. In the
console view I could read the post response by opening the relevant
tab.

On the 2nd computer, I run Firefox 3 with Firebug 1.2.1. There is an
improvement that the response is not preloaded. i suppose in the
majority of case it saves some memories. However, in my application,
there is a new feature that do a Comet connection and on the server
side it supports one simultaneous connection only. So when I press the
Load Response button, the response is actually not the same as the
first request.

Is there any way in the new Firebug to show the response by default?
thank you.

Try latest Firebug 1.3a
http://getfirebug.com/releases/firebug/1.3/

There were big improvements in this area. It can work even better if
you use latest Firefox. I am using latest trunk.

thank you Honza.

well... i've just tried. it takes courage to install *Minefield*! :-)

It does have improvement. The last successful ajax response can be shown without any Load Response. but there are some bugs:

1. for every message/request, all are showing the last successful response!
2. for a long-polling request (i.e. it's xhr.readState < 3), it is displayed as a completed in 2ms, and as mentioned in point 1, it shows the last response instead of "loading"

the last issue is not related to firebug, the installation of Firefox/Minefield 3.1b1pre broken *all* the other plugins. :-(

does firebug has a bug tracking system that I should report to? (or report after there is a stable release?)

While you are welcome to try 3.1 we aren't using it and we're not
fixing bugs related to it yet.

You probably want 3.0.4pre,
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-mozilla1.9.0/
That has the new API supported by Firebug 1.3

thank you very much.  I've uninstalled FF 3.1, deleted the installer and cleaned the recycle bin!!! The field has too much mines. :-)

Please find the bug report as follows:
http://code.google.com/p/fbug/issues/detail?id=1195&sort=-id

I wonder if you have a way to test comet long-polling request. I googled and read that Meebo uses comet. *[1] You may use it to test if necessary. Anyway, you could just view it as only completed xhr is shown.
