I've noticed that request headers and cookies sent have disappear from network inspection in some cases (XHR request for example), at least with OSX Google Chrome.

If you don't see what I mean, just open the web inspector and connect to your Twitter account, then check the XHR requests: you can see request payload and response headers but headers and cookies sent have disappear.

Any idea how to fix this ? I've tried activating some exotic flags in about:flags but saw no changes.

It seems to be because the requested page is loaded over https. I don't know why Chrome suddenly finds it necessary to hide the request headers, but testing, a secure connection seems to be the trigger for this behavior.
