I've opened bug 28775 for this.

The size of the request data, in it's entirety is >generally< available via the
Content-Length header.  This is not always the case, for both the request and
response data; the server can close a connection after writing signalling the
end of the data rather than send a Content-Length for the response , and then
there is the Transfer-Encoding: Chunked business for both requests and
responses (see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chunked_transfer_encoding ).

In those kind of cases, it may well be useful to know the size of the HTTP
message payload.

I suspect this will end up getting a little more complicated; for a large
resource, if we provide a "size" capability like this, the user would probably
like to see the amount of data received so far.  In theory, same for the
request.   

Suggest we open another bug on this as well.  If so, we have a tooltip
available!  Should I provide a hint to the user about the toggle on click
behavior of encoded/decoded.  I can't imagine anyone's going to figure that one
out on their own.
