    This tab displays the content that was received in the HTTP response. The following controls are used:

    Content Description

    The text displayed above the content shows the mime type, the total size in bytes and whether the content was downloaded from the web server or read from the browser cache. If HTTP compression was used, then the description includes the compression type, the compressed sized and the savings achieved. For example, this description:

    text/html : 42551 bytes, gzip compressed to 10167 bytes ( 76.1 % saving )

    applies to an HTML page that was compressed using the gzip algorithm
