Accessing httpRequestObserver in 1.8 Extensions

[Nathan Mische]

Hi,

I'm trying to update my extension to work with Firebug 1.8. In Firebug 1.7 my extension used httpRequestObserver as exposed via FBL.httpObserver to set custom headers. In Firebug 1.8 I can't seem to figure out how to access that module.  I also see there seems to be an new implementation HttpRequestObserver in /content/firebug/net/requestObserver.js so I'm not sure if I should be using that or the httpRequestObserver in /modules/firebug-http-observer.js. Any input on how I should proceed would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

One option is to file a bug and request to expose the firebug/net/
requestObserver.js module through Firebug namespace hierarchy again
(i.e. FBL.httpObserver)

But this would be only a temporary solution since we are working on
APIs that allow extensions to use AMD style just like Firebug does
now. See below

I have created an example of Firebug extension (HelloAMD) that is
based on AMD and so is able to load any Firebug modules. This way you
could load firebug/net/requestObserver module and access its APIs

Here is the example:
http://code.google.com/p/fbug/source/browse/#svn%2Fexamples%2Ffirebug1.9%2FHelloAMD

Firebug support for AMD style APIs is still work in progress and we
appreciate feedback from developers about how we could improve it.

I've opened issue 4733, http://code.google.com/p/fbug/issues/detail?id=4733, to expose this module via the Firebug namespace.

I did read a few of the threads on the new AMD style and took a look at the HelloAMD example. Unfortunately I don't have the resources to update my extension to the new API at this time.

Thanks,
