Good tool to view response headers

By Jerry Hayes - Aug. 31, 2007

I am looking for a tool to allow me to find out the response headers that are being sent back from my server. I am thinking of writing a script that makes an HTTP request, but I don't want to do cookie management, etc to get to sections of my site that require me to login. What tools can I use that will dump the http headers and show me a request/response trail for my web app? The web app is running on apache and is written in python.

    You can get the firefox 'WebDeveloper' toolbar. That allows you to see the response headers. You can get it from here: http://chrispederick.com/work/web-developer/

    You might also want to take a look at "Live HTTP headers" - another firefox plugin. Don't know of any IE plugins.
