the server doesn't send firephp headers

[Ivan]

Hello,
I installed firephp on CodeIgniter framework, but there were no messages in the log console. So i found out that there were no headers starting with X-Wf-.. So I tried it outside the framework, but the result was the same. And I am sure that the firephp class is properly loaded, since I can print out its properties.
What can be the reason for this problem?
Thanks

Do you have the firebug and firephp extension installed and the firebug net and console panels enabled?

What browser are you using?

[Ivan]

Yes, I have all these things.. And I realized that it works*, but only on windows (on the client side). And since I'm watching the headers with firebug net, I'm unable to see them so I decided that they are not there..  the headers just don't appear. Finally I decided to try with windows, and for my surprise the header appered and it was working..
So, the problem may be this -> http://groups.google.com/group/firebug/browse_thread/thread/7c1a9c0886d98070/6791b68e3a829ceb. But anyway, firebug is working, while the firephp is not..
I read the FAQ, but this kind of problem is not mentioned.

FirePHP seems to be very usefum tool, and I'll be very glad if I can use it in my linux workstation.
..and yes, thank you :>

What linux distro are you using?

Do you see "FirePHP/0.3" in the user-agent request header?

[Ivan]

I'm using archlinux, and I found out that firefox is using some dostro-specific user-agent request header due to some branding reasons.. phew. After I recompiled it with the official user-agent branding, it works. It often crashes, but at least it works now :>
About the user-agent request header, maybe you should mention it in the FAQ, it may help someone like me a lot :>

[Christoph Dorn]

Sorry about the inconvenience. I have added it to the FAQs.

There is a workaround that will enable you to use your branded firefox.

Thank You, firephp is a great tool! :>

Can I use this as a quote with your name attached?

Thanks! :D

First I used five minutes trying to get it to work before I found out that I haven't restarted the browser (installed the plugin yesterday – and I'm a bit forgetful). :p
Then used ten minutes trying again but it still didn't work.
Then I started searching in the forum for a reason and found this post.

So now I'm using User-Agent-switcher (already installed) to say Firefox instead of Shiretoko (an intel optimized version for Mac).

Cheers,

I just released 0.3.1 which fixes this issue. You can download it from: http://www.firephp.org/HQ/FinalRelease.htm

[Ivan]

Yes, of course! :>
