Greetings from Italy. Â I’m here dealing with ASICS of a different kind (as in the shoes), specifically the 23rd ASICS Venice Marathon. Â I was in no danger of winning it, but I did complete it in 4 hours, 25 minutes (my 3rd Marathon).
Other than bragging about my nerdrunning abilities, this post is also to see what tools are out there that people use in terms of HTTP analyzers. Â The two I commonly use are listed below:
- Firefox: LiveHTTPHeader
- Internet Explorer: ieHTTPHeaders
I have yet to find one for Apple’s Safari, which is important because I’m now a Mac convert.
The question is, what do you use? Â There’s a couple of others out there, but I’m curious as to what you use. Â Post in the comments section, or drop me an email (tony b at lb digest dot com).


Tony,
For Firefox there are a couple of other options that are killer: HTTPFox and Firebug.
For HTTP analysis in general, I prefer HTTPFox. Straight forward, feels a lot like ethereal (sorry, Wireshark
) and is pretty compact for a plug-in.
Firebug offers most of the same options, but it’s really aimed more at developers, IMO, and not so heavy on the network/protocol analysis side.

Hi Tony,
and use FF for debugging, which is not much comfortable when FF is not default browser and IEx is a Fusion away…
just please post a note or link when You will find anything for Safari, I prefer HTTPFox, just because Lori^w DevCentral does
