Hi Hewlett, on windows I typically use HttpTracer to intercept headers; basically you set up IE to use HttpTracer as a proxy and then HttpTracer shows you all the HTTP info.
Its shareware and I think I had to pay a nominal fee after using it for a while. You can get HttpTracer from http://www.concentric.net/~Sstmail - I aint the author so noone say I'm plugging my own goods here! I don't think its able to intercept SSL. Aside from that I think I've used a Perl (or is it Java?) command line version called somthing like "http sniffer". That worked fine from what I remember but I ended up using HttpTracer more because of the friendlier interface. regards Joel -----Original Message----- From: Hewlett Pickens [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 31 January 2002 00:01 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: How To Display Browser Headers Does anyone know of a way to get Microsoft's Internet Explorer to display the HTTP headers it transmits? Would like to use them for debugging a "learning" Perl script I'm trying to write on a client to talk to a CGI script under Apache. Getting "500" error, and the Apache error log shows "premature end of script headers" if I try and send more than one name-value pair. If I could see the actual header content being transmitted by IE, my error(s) would probably stand out like a sore thumb. In case anyone wonders "why on earth is he trying to do the hard way rather than using a browser" - no browser available. My environment is described below. ---------- Have two mainframe Linux systems (Marist) running under IBM's VM Operating System. They aren't real world setups. Am using them to learn Linux, Perl, and CGI. Apache is on both, but no browser is available. Have O'Reilly's "CGI Programming" which helps a lot, but would like to cut down on the amount of time its taking to grunt it out. ---------- Thanks, Hew Hewlett M.
