Request inspection
Inspect any captured request in Trace with headers, bodies, timing, and TLS details.
Overview
Tap a request in the Network list to open the inspector.
Note
Inspector tabs: - Overview: summary, status, size, and timing - Headers: request and response headers - Body: request/response bodies with format-aware viewers - Timing: DNS, connect, TLS, and transfer breakdown - Certificate: TLS chain details (HTTPS only)
Overview tab
The Overview tab shows core metadata:
GET /api/items
Host: api.example.com
Status: 200 OK
Size: 12.4 KB
Duration: 184 ms
Common fields include:

- Remote address: server IP and port
- Connection: keep-alive, close, or upgrade
- Timestamp: when the request started
Headers tab
Browse request and response headers in a searchable table.
Tip
Body tab details
Trace chooses a viewer based on the content type and payload:
- Pretty-print JSON and XML
- Syntax highlight common text formats
- Inline preview for images and SVG
- Raw view when the body is binary or unknown
Body tab
Trace renders bodies with format-aware viewers:
- JSON, XML, and HTML
- Images and SVG
- Form and multipart data
- Plain text and binary detection
Large bodies may be truncated in the UI; export for full payloads.
Timing tab
The timing breakdown helps identify slow steps:
- DNS
- Connect
- TLS
- Request
- Wait (TTFB)
- Response
Certificate tab (HTTPS only)
Inspect the TLS chain and certificate fingerprint. This is useful for debugging trust issues and pinning.
Filtering requests
Use the Filters panel to narrow results:
- Domains (wildcards supported)
- HTTP method
- Status code
- Content type
- Quick filters (errors, favorites, duplicates)
Debugging workflow example
- Filter by domain and status.
- Open a request and confirm headers.
- Inspect the response body for errors or schema changes.
- Export as cURL or HAR if you need to share.
