You may wish to check this

This feature doesn’t work in Chrome – it used to many years ago, now it will always show “0 / X requests” (where X is the total number of HTTP requests made)

But never will you see anything load here – try Googling “chrome network tab not showing requests” and you will see the literally hundreds of threads of people saying this

For anyone who happens upon this article, the feature works in FireFox – which I’m using as an alternative

Hello, do you know what does mean the double dots before parameter? For example:

Request Headers
:authority: xxx.com
:method: GET
:path: /api/data/v9.0/$metadata
:scheme: https

I do not know what does mean the “:”.

Thanks
