How to check response body using WebExtensions WebRequest API?

Question

I am writing a browser extension using the basic WebExtensions framework for modern browsers.

I am trying to figure out how I can get (read) access or a copy of the HTTP response data sent by a regular server using the stable WebRequest API. The Firefox and Chrome documentation does not offer a convenient way to achieve this. Is this possible within the framework of WebExtensions?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

No, this is not possible with the WebRequest API.

This has been asked for a long time , though, at least for Chrome.
