HTTP Header and File Content Viewer
HTTP Headers are the request to a server for information and the resulting response. When you input an address into your browser it sends a request to the server hosting the domain and the server responds. You can see the response using our basic HTTP Header Viewer. The HTTP Header Viewer can be used to view the Header or Content of any valid http:// https:// url. When HEAD is selected the request is for the server to only send header information. A GET selection requests file content.
A HEAD request response headers may include
- Response status; 200 is a valid response from the server.
- Date of request.
- Server details; type, configuration and version numbers. For example the php version.
- Cookies; cookies set on your system for the domain.
- Last-Modified; this is only available if set on the server and is usually the time the requested file was last modified
- Content-Type; text/html is a html web page, text/xml an xml file.
For a GET request of text based files including web pages (.html, .htm, .php), Cascading Style Sheets (.css), JavaScript (.js), and XML files (.xml) the response returns and displays the file content. The content displayed is the same as displayed when using View Source in a browser.
