Erik, I believe there is some facility in the extension I'm using (Dafizilla ViewSourceWith) to map to server scripts as well -- as you say, to define a "source map" -- but I'm not sure because I don't bother with it.
All I want is for the main, core HTML file (corresponding to what I'm looking at in Firefox) to pop up in my code editor. It makes no difference whether the page is completely static (rare) or has PHP server code that partially generates the "final" HTML -- if I wanted to see the final composited result, I'd ask to see the browser's own generated/cached source in one of the usual ways. What I'm getting with my approach is just the master HTML file from the server; that's all I want. If there are (for example) calls to PHP in there, they show up as calls to PHP, not as the result. This is *complementary* to seeing the final/generated code that the browser uses and can show you; it doesn't *replace* that other meaning of "viewing the source." In fact, I haven't even bothered figuring out how the ViewSourceWith extension handles other *client* languages (i.e, CSS and JS) -- although I know it can -- because my main code editor (BBEdit) has its own popdown menu showing me all the CSS, JS, PHP, etc. that is linked to that page, and I use that menu to access the resources associated with the current HTML file, as needed. As I said, I really wish that Firebug could add this live-mapping feature, so I wouldn't be dependent on another tool to do this.
