Right now the type is sent in InspectorResourceAgent::didReceiveResponse. But the type is known for most loads in InspectorResourceAgent::willSendRequest because the cached CachedResource was created with the type before loading. Only XHRs, the document and favicons don't know their type, but those are easy to fix.

Passing this type along in requestWillBeSent to the front-end would let the Network panel group long polling XHRs in the XHR category instead of Other. So when you are filtering by XHR they will show up. Facebook is a good example of this. They have a long poll XHR that sits in Other for minutes, then once it loads moves to the XHR category and another one is started in Other. It would be great to see the pend and finished ones all under XHR.
