- View a Page's HTTP Headers
- Ever wanted to be able to point people to the HTTP HEAD output for a page without having a lot of silly links and other garbage in the way? Well now you can! This form lets you enter a URI and prints out, in plain text, the HTTP HEAD result. No more pasting curl -I results into IRC!
- View Your Client's HTTP Request
- Wondering what headers your client is sending to servers? This form will let you find out, and you can even POST content and check that that works too—it'll all be reflected back to you in good old plain text.
- Repair & Override MIME Types
- Thwarted by a page that's being served with an incorrect MIME type? Not anymore! Using this form you can select any URI, and serve it under any MIME type no matter what its original is. Great also for being able to point to plain text sources of websites! (@@ Should probably update the script to not work if the MIME type being asked for is the same as the original--that way it can't be used for nefarious proxy purposes.)
- View This Site's Environment Variables
- Mainly implemented for the benefit of the site's maintainer(s), this little page can be handy when you're searching for that elusive variable name. Was it REQUEST_URL or REQUEST_URI or both or what? This page'll help you find out.
- Linux Man Pages
- Not technically a Web Tool as such, but nontheless this small script can come in very handy indeed. Using just a few lines of bash with some help from John Cowan, this script serves man pages, cached for up to a month, as—you guessed it!—good old plain text.
