  1. Allow installing extensions through glimpse

    It would be awesome if through the Glimpse UI, I could say that I want, for example, the glimpse-knockout extension to be installed.

      • Display browser info received on server

        It might be useful to have a tab where I can see the actual browser capabilites that the web app is detecting (System.Web.HttpBrowserCapabilities).

        • Avoid spelling mistakes

          Are you aware that you have a spelling mistake on your homepage? Read again: "Glimpse into whats going on in your server." It should be "what's" or "what is."

          • Allow enabling/disabling tabs/plugins programatically

            It would seem extremely useful to be able to programatically decide on the server what plugins could be enabled/blacklisted during the course of a request being processed.

            • Make Newtonsoft.Json.JsonIgnoreAttribute public

              If website uses complex custom model binders, one may want to prevent Glimpse.Mvc3.Plugin.Binders to serialize certain public properties (which cannot be set to internal because are used in views) of the models to json.

              • Add yourself into the VS 2012 Extension Manager (for Advertising purposes)

                Some developers will try looking in the Extension Manager instead of Nuget... don't give them a 'No Items Found' message

                  Hey Adam. To provide an update. This will be going out within the v1 time frame which should be within the next few weeks. So mid November at this point.

                • Support MVC 4

                  I know MVC 4 hasn't been released yet but my organization is already using the RC and we'd love to have Glimpse support.

                    At the moment we haven’t done any testing on what works or doesn’t. Within the v1 timeframe we plan to make sure we do this testing and have it ready to go out with v1. Thanks for reporting your current experience.

                  • Glimpse should be available one error page (yellow pages)

                    If there is a server error and the defaut .net yellow page is render, glimpse is not available.

                    I don't know if it is possible but it would be nice to have the client side glimpse even on the error pages

                    • More regular updates via NuGet

                      0.87 has been around for a long time now. It would be nice to see some updates available via NuGet, preferably a 1.0 version. For MVC especially, I think this is such a useful tool I would hate to see it wither before it even gets to a full 1.0 release.

                      • The ability to turn Glimpse on and configure a remote name from URL parameters.

                        http://mywebsite/Glimpse.axd?GlimpseState=on&SessionName=iPhone

                        When trying to debug HTML 5 local apps that are "web app capable" and show no address bar, I have to browse to the Glimpse.axd url via a anchor tag link.
                        A separate instance of safari is instantiated and the cookie for that safari instance is not shared by the local app.

                        Consequently, the local app traffic to the server is not tracked.

                        This could also be helpful in remote support cases, just email the user a pre-configured link.

                          It would be useful to be able to see Web Api calls and the available information from them.

                          • Add ability to inspect cache, session, application, etc. variables.

                            I needed to inspect values in the Cache, but I couldn't find a way to inspect them in Glimpse. It would be nice to have this feature.

                              What use cases would you see that you would want to inspect these variables/stores? Is it a wondering question or when you have an actual problem and you need to debug these, etc?

                                    To provide an update. We originally released an Entity Framework specific plugin to help address this issue. Since then, we feel that trying trying to develop a plugin per data access framework doesn’t scale very well. Hence we are investigating what might be possible in this space. More updates to come.

                                    • Show complex model properties like linqpad

                                      In the model binding help docs you said that you didn't show complex model properties because you couldn't figure out a good way to display them.Linqpad works great at showing complex objects.

                                        • Add .axd to view Config and Environment tabs for web service apps

                                          Glimpse would be useful to view Config and Environment of WCF or other service based applications in controlled environments where developers don't have access to servers and/or IIS. An .axd that would spit out a dummy page with Config and Environment sections would be great.
