HTTP Analyzers and ASICs
Greetings from Italy. I’m here dealing with ASICS of a different kind (as in the shoes), specifically the 23rd ASICS Venice Marathon. 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. 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? There’s a couple of others out there, but I’m curious as to what you use. 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.

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
