[OT] viewing HTTP headers in IE/Firefox

[prev] [thread] [next] [Date index for 2005/03/16]

This is off-topic for this list, but I thought I'd just mention for those that
are troubleshooting HTTP issues, there are useful plugins for both IE and
Firefox that show you both incoming and outgoing HTTP headers, including through
https connections.

For IE, there is an IE Explorer Bar add-on called ieHTTPHeaders:

You'll probably need to reboot after installing it for it to show up.

For Firefox, there is an extension called LiveHTTPHeaders:
  http://livehttpheaders.mozdev.org/
I think it might work with Mozilla as well, but I haven't tried it.

As always with software, use at your own risk.  They work great for me.

I thought this was of some relevance to this list, as many people using mod_perl
tend to do its powerful header management capabilities.
