           Summary: Opening Web Inspector for non-html content
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Macintosh Intel
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.7
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: Web Inspector
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: holster at iki.fi


Web Inspector cannot be opened when the current document is not web page (ie. not text/html). In that case the menu item is disabled and the keyboard shortcut works neither.

However, if you open Web Inspector before opening non-html page, Web Inspector keeps open and works fine (ie. shows request related info etc). Because clearly Web Inspector works and can be useful with other content types than html, it should be not prevented to open Web Inspector for non-html content.

Demonstration:

1) Go to http://www.google.com/robots.txt (non-html content)
2) Web Inspector can *not* be opened
3) Go to http://google.com (html content)
4) Open Web Inspector
5) Now go to previous url (http://www.google.com/robots.txt)
6) Web Inspector stays visible and can be used
