Network page doesn't show requests made by packages

[vincepunkrock]

The network page only shows the requests that the app makes, not the ones that the packages that the app uses are making.
For example, I use packages for video and audio. I would expect the Network page to show when the requests the get the video and audio files were made by these packages.

@bkonyi is it possible for us to record this information?

We'd need either need plugin level support or access to a system level network profiler, if there is such a thing. The current implementation only tracks requests made through dart:io's HTTP classes.

Are there any plugins that give access to a system-level network profiler?

Is there any workaround for this to check? I am using video_player, just_audio packages and I want to see the video and audio network request and response to check the chunking for bigger files.

Late update: The http_profile package allows code outside dart:io to also participate in HTTP profiling. The cupertino_http, cronet_http and ok_http packages all use it. If network requests from video_player and just_audio are still not seen in the DevTools Network tab, then they need to add support via http_profile. You could file issues at their respective issue trackers, if the problem still persists.
