HTTP Header Parser makes raw headers easier to read and troubleshoot. It is useful when checking API calls, debugging browser requests, reviewing server responses, verifying content negotiation, inspecting cookies, or understanding why a request behaves differently across environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does HTTP Header Parser do?

It reads raw HTTP request or response headers and converts them into a structured summary with important metadata.

Can it parse both request and response headers?

Yes. It detects whether your input looks like an HTTP request or an HTTP response and summarizes it accordingly.

Does it show cookies and authorization headers?

Yes. It detects cookie-related headers, authorization information, and other common request and response fields.

Does this tool process my data on a server?

No. The parsing runs in your browser on the page so your pasted header text stays local.
