HTTP Headers Parser

System ideaMissing a tool?

Parse pasted response headers and spot security and cache headers

Paste raw HTTP response headers — copied from your browser's network panel or a curl -I output — and see them split into a name, value and category, with common security and caching headers highlighted. Parsed entirely in your browser; nothing is fetched over the network.

Everything on this page is processed in your browser. Nothing is uploaded.

What this tool does

Response headers carry security controls like Strict-Transport-Security and X-Frame-Options, and caching controls like Cache-Control and ETag, mixed in with routine headers like Content-Type and Server. Scanning a raw block of pasted text for the ones that matter is slow, so this tool splits every line into a name and value and flags the headers that affect security or caching.

How to use it

  1. Copy response headers from your browser's DevTools network panel, or run curl -I against a URL and copy the output.
  2. Paste the raw text into the input.
  3. Review the parsed table; security and cache headers are marked separately from general ones.

Privacy

This tool runs entirely in your browser. Your input is never uploaded, stored or shared — closing the tab removes it.

Frequently asked questions

Does this tool fetch the headers for me?
No. It only parses text you paste in — it never makes a network request, so it works the same for a private or internal URL as a public one.
Why is the status line ignored?
A leading line such as "HTTP/1.1 200 OK" isn't a name/value header, so it's skipped rather than shown as a malformed row.
Which headers count as security headers here?
Common ones such as Strict-Transport-Security, Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, Referrer-Policy, Permissions-Policy and the Cross-Origin-* isolation headers.
