Page Headers by Veign

[Veign]

What it does:
Page Headers will return the http (server) header information from any valid URI. The http header information contains information about the webpage like: last modified, what type of server, if a redirect occured (and the location of the redirect) and the content length that will follow.

Where it is:
http://pageheaders.com/

Sample:
http://pageheaders.com/display-http-headers.php?url=http://microsoft.com

Please make suggestions on how I can make the report better or more useful.  Also, if you have an idea for an online application that you would like please contact me and lets talk.  See more of my online applications.

Nice web app. I can think of one suggestion. Make the tokens in the header links to explanations of what those tokens are used for.

For example:

HTTP/1.1 302 Found
Date: Mon, 15 Jan 2007 15:23:41 GMT
Server: Microsoft-IIS/6.0
P3P: CP="ALL IND DSP COR ADM CONo CUR CUSo IVAo IVDo PSA PSD TAI TELo OUR SAMo CNT COM INT NAV ONL PHY PRE PUR UNI"
X-Powered-By: ASP.NET
X-AspNet-Version: 2.0.50727
Location: /en/us/default.aspx
Cache-Control: private
Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8
Content-Length: 136

Cool idea. I added some of them

I need to go look at Regular Expressions in PHP to get the status code (will do this tonight)

[Veign]

I updated things. 

Whats new:

• Common http response codes now link to information pages
• Added quick view graphic (either X or check mark) for displaying status on URL
• Cleaned up the results page a bit

That's a pretty cute idea, Veign!

Linking to the HTTP RFC is cute, and it's nice that redirects are followed

the idea of linking to the appropriate field descriptions was a great idea tinjaw - and nicely implemented veign.

Veign,

I think the natural evolution of the site is to link to information about the domain. I'm not sure if it make sense to go as far as dnsstuff.com, but at least some basic information about the domain most likely would be helpful to visitors. You might even use that information to get better targeted AdSence ads.

I have a whois script ready to go, just need time to implement.  Also, I'm trying to think of what other information may be useful for someone looking at page headers.

Keep the ideas coming.
