I mentioned this on #necko the other day.
We've had a "re-fetching" problem in devtools for a while now.
The basic issue is that the platform drops the original text of some
things, like style sheets. (Instead just the parsed form is preserved.)
So, in order to make some tools work with the source text, devtools
re-fetches the sources. However, this is sub-optimal -- maybe the
sources have changed on the server, leading to confusing results.
We were wondering if there was some way we could solve this problem.
One idea we had is to always cache these things, in a way that would let
the devtools retrieve them. Is this possible?
We can't cache the resources if the web server tells us "don't cache
this", so even if we use things such as LOAD_ONLY_FROM_CACHE, we still
need a solution for that case.
Or ... some other idea here.
How about forcing Gecko retain the original source text when devtools
are being used?
