A standard (example) HTTP response looks like this:

  HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
  Date: Tue, 02 Sep 2008 22:46:07 GMT
  Server: Apache/1.3.41 (Unix) mod_gzip/1.3.26.1a mod_log_bytes/1.2
mod_bwlimited/1.4 mod_auth_passthrough/1.8 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635
mod_ssl/2.8.31 OpenSSL/0.9.7a
  Connection: close
  Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1

This was dumped by wget for a random nonexistent URL. The following is
what I get in the clipboard if I go to that same URL in Firebug, and
then, in the Net tab, select "Copy Response Headers" for that request.

  Date: Tue, 02 Sep 2008 22:46:29 GMT

  Server: Apache/1.3.41 (Unix) mod_gzip/1.3.26.1a mod_log_bytes/1.2
mod_bwlimited/1.4 mod_auth_passthrough/1.8 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635
mod_ssl/2.8.31 OpenSSL/0.9.7a

  Keep-Alive: timeout=15, max=99

  Connection: Keep-Alive

  Transfer-Encoding: chunked

  Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1

The differences (Connection and Transfer-Encoding) can be put down to
user-agent differences (wget vs. Firefox 2.0.0.16), but the important
difference is that the "HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found" line is omitted from
the Firebug headers that are copied into the clipboard.

So, two questions:

1) Why is the status line (http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-
sec6.html#sec6.1) omitted from the headers?

2) Can Firebug be changed so that the status line is included? I know
this is a minor thing, but it would be handy to have the actual raw
text of the headers copied into the clipboard, instead of a slightly
modified version.

Thanks, and sorry if this has been asked before! I searched for a few
minutes but didn't find anything about this in the archives.
