The idea of a hex view is interesting, but would probably be appropriate to
show it for the response data as well; optionally, of course, somehow.  I
suggest we open a new bug on that.

At this point, if we don't need to integrate that into this bug (lots more
work), and if we want to show the values decoded, then I think there are two
options to showing the encoded versions:

- in a tooltip, per form data item / query string parameter
- make the entire form data / query string parameters section clickable, and
when clicked, toggle between encoded/decoded.  A tooltip over the area could
provide the hint that this gesture is possible.

I kind of like the second.  Perhaps this would be a way to toggle a hex view on
the response as well, though I think there are more real estate options for the
response data than the request data, and thus perhaps a button would be more
appropriate for the response data.
