Add ability to show request headers in Highlights (particularly Referrer)

Open adnweedon opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

Problem Statement

I regularly find that I look at an Issue, and then have to scroll down the page to the request section, and then expand it and scroll down to find out what the Referrer header is, which is a bit irritating! Some of our endpoints are accessible from multiple different pages, which determines where to start looking for the issue, and I've done this enough times that I've started looking for something to make life easier!

Solution Brainstorm

It would be really helpful if I could add the request Referrer header to the Highlights block at the top!

Wanted to chime in that referer (as opposed to all other headers as suggested in #99032) is really important since lots of applications use the same kind of API calls from multiple pages, and knowing the page often helps a lot in debugging.

E.g. in Laravel Livewire this concept is used a lot. Now I see the url as being /livewire/update, which is the default API call for all in-page updates. So in Livewire this doesn't say anything. Only by knowing the referer can we debug.
