HTTP Header Sniffer +

October 28th, 2008 by Simon Tiffert

If you are interested in the headers of your HTTP Requests (and you should be interested), it is often hard to find the right tool for the job. On Windows I used Fiddler, which works well for IE and Chrome, but needs a proxy entry to work with Firefox. A commercial but also very nice tool is HttpDebuggerPro, which has a good interface and filters.

I have switched to the Mac and was searching for a good tool. Live HTTP Headers is a Firefox Plugin but I don’t really liked it. Installed it today and the interface could be used for three requests, but has no overview for a lot of requests. With a search in the Firefox Add-Ons I found HttpFox. It is exactly the tool I searched for. I nice table with all requests and a split panel of the bottom for request and response headers.

Have a look at the screenshot and install it – as soon as possible. Why?
