Unfortunately it is more like a feature - interface for tracing network traffic. We discussed it here some time ago: http://groups.google.com/group/mozilla.dev.tech.network/browse_thread/thread/62af84e6d35ab77d/b17828f79d65174b?lnk=gst&q=Jan+Wrobel#b17828f79d65174b I made some hacks that work around lack of such interface in FF 1.5 and 2.0 and they are working quite well. But unfortunately I had to use some not frozen interfaces, few of them are changed in FF 3.0 and I can't see any way to workaround this.
I think such change will be quite small: one additional interface with only one attribute and straight forward implementation of this attribute getter and setter in nsChannel. This shouldn't affect anyone not using this new interface but would make possible development of interesting extensions for FF 3.0 (Few people expect me have asked for such feature). I can do coding, testing and documentation. Is FF 4.0 the soonest possible version for such feature to add? Or maybe in not major version of Firefox new interfaces can also be added (like for example in 3.1)?
