View HTTP Headers Of Any Web Page In Firefox

Do you want to see HTTP headers of different web pages while browsing? If you are a web developer using Firefox 3, then there is an invaluable little add-on for you called Live HTTP Headers. It displays the HTTP headers along with many other information such as debugging cookie, http and server transaction, etc.

You can also use it in optimizing the SEO by verifying 301 and 302 redirects which is very valuable. Tracking and analyzing js-requests is much easier with this add-on.

To add a manual shortcut for Live HTTP Headers go to Views > Toolbars > Customize and drag the add-on to the toolbar.

You can select weather to open LiveHTTPHeaders in a new tab or existing tab, you can also filter out urls among many other options.

Sadly this add-on doesn’t include inline search, copy to clipboard feature, and it lacks the feature for memorizing the last settings, so that you don’t have to reset every time you open this add-on. Overall it’s a great little add-on that you must try if you are a web developer. Enjoy!

  1. Thanks a lot. For anyone who is actually speculating on why the optimum metro area across the world is Detroit, then look at this. Did you hear how they launched right there last week? Do you see the images and photos? You should definitely prepare the following vacation to Detroit, it is actually more than worth it.

  2. I i would like to leave a simple comment to talk about that your website was nice. I found it on bing seek after dealing with many other information which was probably not relevant. I thought I might come across this much before considering how good the information is.

  4. These articles powerhouses are an asset to Google and not the other way around. But do you think Yahoo is heading to sit back and see simply anybody make big bucks off of their top rankings?
