[Feedback] Network tool Resend and Edit and resend as fetch

[leahtu]

TL;DR

Starting with Edge 153, the DevTools Network tool includes two new features: Resend and Edit and resend as fetch. These features are intended to replace Edit and resend in the Network Console tool in the near future.

Please try both features and let us know:

• How well do they support your workflows?
• What workflows or capabilities are missing compared with Network Console’s Edit and resend?

Features

Both features are available from a request’s context menu in the Network tool.

1. Resend: Resends the request as-is.

   • XHR requests are resent using Network.replayXHR.
   • All other supported request types are resent using a fetch() call.
   • This expands the former Resend XHR command to more request types.

2. Edit and resend as fetch: Copies the request to the Console as a fetch() call, where you can edit and resend it.

   • Inline comments identify the request’s execution context.
   • Before resending, use the Console toolbar’s JavaScript context dropdown to select the correct context.
