Rex Swain's tool, with an explanation of what's returned. It also can show the page code.

HTTP Viewer (http://www.rexswain.com/httpview.html)

With all the redirection issues lately it's a very helpful tool to be able to use.

There is also the very handy FireFox live-http header extension.

Thanks, LM! Very handy right with the browser, but can you explain something that isn't clear

Third by letting you edit request headers and replay an URL (beta). Look for the Replay button in the live window!
What does it mean to replay an URL?

I haven't seen that in action yet. But I;m guessing that it will let you hand edit outgoing header information and send it out. That could be very useful for debugging code -- it would be a lot faster than whipping together a custom io::socket script like I've done in the past.
