HTTP Headers: A Powerful Tool to View HTTP Headers

"HTTP Headers" is an intuitive, lightweight Chrome extension that allows users to display HTTP headers of all requests and responses for their current webpage. Without embedding third-party libraries or tracking user activities, it helps users understand what each header does by providing descriptions of common headers. You can even click on a value to copy that header to the clipboard in the standard HTTP header format. Additionally, this tool maintains an overall view of browser requests. The open-source code is available at https://github.com/farski/http-headers-crx.

Easy to use. Super useful when trying to figure out problems with http headers, e.g. cache control.

Very well coded extension. It helped me out when I was stuck in a rut and the default Web tools in Chrome were just not displaying the correct GET/POST data. I fiddled out for a long time in the builtin Inspect->Network but it just would not show the correct data. This tool displayed the correct and got me sorted immediately
