PUBLIC MARKS from chuanliang with tags software & "http tools"

Some of the tools are implemented as proxies, allow rewriting of headers and all sort of fun stuff, while others plug-in to the browser and monitor the requests passively. While folks may know of LiveHeaders for Mozilla (http://livehttpheaders.mozdev.org) or HttpWatch for IE (http://www.httpwatch.com), here are a few more that we have found varying in price and capabilities. Stuck in the middle with you -- a few proxies: Fiddler http://www.fiddlertool.com/fiddler We quite like this proxy, which is being updated all the time. HTTPCatcher http://www.httpcatcher.com A Java-based HTTP proxy to see full headers -- and change ‘em on the fly. Charles http://www.xk72.com/charles/index.html Another Java-based HTTP inspection proxy. Toolbars! Toolbars! Get your HTTP toolbars here!: IE Inspector - HTTP Analyzer http://www.ieinspector.com Similar to the popular HttpWatch but cheaper -- the DOM inspector though is much more interesting... HTTPLook http://www.httpsniffer.com/index.htm Interesting integration with the specification to show you header information and decent filtering. HttpDetect http://www.effetech.com/sniffer This is a packet sniffer that can see all the HTTP stuff going on – on your box. When you need a powertool, Bob Villa-style. IEWatch http://www.iewatch.com Yet another IE plug-in -- is there a pattern of free tools emerging here? ieHTTPHeaders http://www.blunck.info/iehttpheaders.html Yet another IE plug-in -- but this one is FOSS for the budget-minded (free and open, baby). Microsoft SOAP Trace We even have our own internal tool (httpScope) that we use internally. It may one day be released at a Port80 near you… Cheers, Port80ians
