Does this incorporate FTP/SFTP?

Just curious…

This Inspector is wonderful. I am writing an ebook on web site optimization (client-side) and the lack of such a tool for safari was really a disappointment for me (as Safari is my primary browser).

I have small requests/comments on the network view after using it for only a small amount of time :
– the size of the request fo each item is lacking, and the ‘cookie’ header too. I ‘ve come accross several web sites where cookie size and requests sizes are huge and a real performance issue. The inspector should help showing this.
– the url of the request should be added : resources typically come from different servers. why
– the page view hides the fact that you can go through several redirections (302) between pages. Maybe the redirections could be recorded and the page cleaned up on a click event?

Otherwise, I love the css/html/images/javascripts breakup. It is a gem in the gem. Summarizes superbly a page so that even the guys at marketing can understand it.

PS: : please send info on the inspector to the guys building the apple startpage (they coul save some bandwidth etc/…)

This is a great tool One very important thing missing from it though:

The ability to change values (like Firebug in Firefox)

When I click on a CSS value, I’d like to be able to play around with it to see how it affects the page. It would be even nicer to have the CSS file display editable.

Thanks for the great tool though.

@ zapradical

The only way to try out the new Web Inspector right now is download a WebKit nightly build. Running a nightly build doesn’t actually replace anything on your system, so there’s nothing that really gets installed.

I love the new inspector, but I found the old inspector useful for certain purposes. The new one requires so much space, while the old one was light and neat.. On my laptop the old one would be more efficient for many smaller tasks. I want the old one back, maybe as a “Quick Inspect” or something..

I just downloaded the latest Mac build, but it didn’t have the new Inspector. I found that kinda strange. I’ll try again.

Are the debugging options available compatible with Firebug (e.g. can we use one set of debug code now across both browsers)?

Doesn’t work with Vista. Everytime I try to run the .cmd file, safari crashes …

When you said you could inspect in ANY app, I didn’t know that you meant even within the inspector itself! That was a little weird.
