Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Sometimes I find it useful to see low lewel details like exact request and response sent and received. That is HTTP protocol infromation like headers and body.

Describe the solution you'd like

I have something like Postman in mind, a console where it's possible to see either formatted request and response, or in plain text, it looks like this:

formatted version:

plain text version:

It could be open as a separate window as well:

Describe alternatives you've considered

Using a browser version of Altair and opening browser DevTools.

@pavelsaman Going through this, it looks like this is going to be a whole lot of work. I can't justify working on this large amount of work with presumably little benefit. Considering this information is already available in dev tools, what benefits are there to implementing this?
