View HTTP headers

[Neal]

Is it possible to view the server's HTTP headers for a page using a
typical browser? And if so, how?

Obviously I can see meta tags, and Opera will tell me the content-type and
encoding even if set through headers. But I'd think more detail could be
gotten somehow.

i use a proxy http://www.proxomitron.info/ so i can check out (and
filter) what everything i have using http is doing. i think moz has the
ability to check out the request/response headers built in or theres a
plugin available. i wasn't paying attention when someone was talking
about it in another group.

I'm using a bit of a home-brew affair - Windows only and probably
requires you to have MSXML4 installed - but nevertheless:

As a general note:
Treat HTA files with the same caution as you'd treat an EXE. Hence only
run a HTA file if, and only if, you trust the author and the source.

Plugin -- called, IIRC, "Live HTTP Headers".

For Firefox and mozilla:
<URL:http://livehttpheaders.mozdev.org/>

Or even:
<URL:http://www.rexswain.com/httpview.html>

I've used the LiveHTTPHeaders extension in both Mozilla
and now FireFox, and it works great:
http://livehttpheaders.mozdev.org/

Now, the questions remaining are:
- are those "typical" browsers?
- will you be upset to see the headers
sent by both the client and the server?

That is great. Thanks. Works like a charm too.
