+
+A package that allows HTTP clients outside of the Dart SDK to integrate with
+the DevTools Network View.
+
+**NOTE:** This package is meant for developers *implementing* HTTP clients, not
+developers *using* HTTP clients.
+
+## Using
+
+`HttpClientRequestProfile.profile` returns an `HttpClientRequestProfile` object
+if HTTP profiling is enabled. Populating the fields of that object with
+information about an HTTP request and about the response to that request will
+make that information show up in the
+[DevTools Network View](https://docs.flutter.dev/tools/devtools/network).
+
+```dart
+import 'package:http_profile/http_profile.dart';
+
+Future<String> get(Uri uri) {
+  final profile = HttpClientRequestProfile.profile(
+    requestStartTime: DateTime.now(),
+    requestMethod: 'GET',
+    requestUri: uri.toString(),
+  );
+  profile?.connectionInfo = {
+      'localPort': 1285,
+      'remotePort': 443,
+      'connectionPoolId': '21x23',
+    };
+
+  profile.requestData.proxyDetails = HttpProfileProxyData(
+    host: 'https://www.example.com',
+    username: 'abc123',
+    isDirect: true,
+    port: 4321,
+  );
+
+  // Make the HTTP request and populate the response data.
+
+  profile.responseData.headersListValues = {
+    'connection': ['keep-alive'],
+    'cache-control': ['max-age=43200'],
+    'content-type': ['application/json', 'charset=utf-8'],
+  };
+
+  return responseString;
+}
+```

+[`package:cupertino_http`](https://github.com/dart-lang/http/blob/master/pkgs/cupertino_http/lib/src/cupertino_client.dart)
+to see a comprehensive example of how `package:http_profile` can be integrated
+into an HTTP client.
+
+## Status: experimental
+
+**NOTE**: This package is currently experimental and published under the
+[labs.dart.dev](https://dart.dev/dart-team-packages) pub publisher in order to
+solicit feedback.
+
+For packages in the labs.dart.dev publisher we generally plan to either graduate
+the package into a supported publisher (dart.dev, tools.dart.dev) after a period
+of feedback and iteration, or discontinue the package. These packages have a
+much higher expected rate of API and breaking changes.
+
+Your feedback is valuable and will help us evolve this package. For general
+feedback, suggestions, and comments, please file an issue in the
+[bug tracker](https://github.com/dart-lang/http/issues).
