WebExtensions - requestId for webRequests

Add-ons Development
1

While trying WebExtensions webRequest API, I’ve noticed that the callback function details object from (at least) some supported webRequest events (I’ve tested onBeforeSendHeaders and onResponseStarted) does not contain a requestId property like in Chrome.

Are there any future plans to add requestId to webRequest details?
Is there any other unique identifier for a web request (in order to match it with the corresponding response for example).

Thanks.

I just filed bug 1202734 for this. It’s definitely something we plan to do. I don’t know of any workarounds.

Hi, just wanted to check if there is an estimation of when this issue will be fixed?

Thanks!

It’s blocking our WebExtension 1.0 target, so I expect it will happen
within the next few months.
