Are you suggesting a multi-stage rocket going something like this, or
does that view have more live state information than meets the eye?

* clear the Headers view
* open the Generator view, clear it, check "requests"
* start loading the page to monitor
* wait (until bored enough) for the sample moment

* copy all content of the Headers view
* copy all content of the Generator view

* filter both views for URLs only
* cross reference the views with one another
* weed out requests sent but not received
* Bob's your uncle
