Hi there,

I've noticed a feature that could make Firebug more useful. Interested to 
know if it can already do this, or a possible pointer to where I could hack 
it in and give back to project.

Many times, I go to a website, the page loads up, it's all composed of 
content from multiple sources, I mean the browser is making 50 http 
requests when it loads the page. 

This is not uncommon in modern web applications. But how can I tell where a 
specific piece of content has been loaded from?

What I would like to do is copy a piece of text from the page and either 
search for it in the network request view or add a watch to show the 
relevant request when the page is reloaded.

Think of ngrep ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ngrep ), but in the browser.

This would have the added advantage that whereas ngrep cannot decode 
encrypted TLS communications, in the browser - they are already decoded.

Is this a viable idea? If so, where should I look to add this sort of 
functionality?

Regards,

Bryan Hunt
