Using Live Http Headers Add-On To View Server Header Information

Recommended Posts

You can view a web site's HTTP headers using a Firefox add-on called "Live HTTP Headers."

 

Here's the page for the add-on: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/

 

Once the add-on is installed, you'll be able to view the server header information by right-clicking on the page and selecting "View Page Info." In the "Page Info" window, you'll see a new "Headers" section.

 

This is what it looks like on my laptop:

This looks very handy but it's hidden away in a dialog, also how did it get the name Live HTTP Header? Do those headers displayed in that dialog update automatically, does it only show 1 request at a time?

I prefer Firebug using the network analyzer, which is live/real time of requests when it's active and it is shown in it's own pane which by default is at the bottom of your browser, although you can shift it to any side. Firebug has a lot of features that help with web development but also has quite a steep learning curve too (if you want to learn all the features). There are other addons that can be integrated with Firebug to provide any more useful resources too.

Cheers,
