I'm very glad you developed this! I don't need this now, but a few months ago this would have saved me tons of time. With this, Mozilla is almost perfect for development.

[2] Submitted by: Sy on Wednesday December 18th 2002

Nice thing. I like it.
And I would like to see it improved... how about a Sidebar?
And maybe the possibility to create filters to allow displaying only certain headers, and to perform some other actions such as generating request headers (for the next request) based on information gathered from those filters.
e.g.: if you get a 404 or 403 code, then retry the same request but sending a different Referer... etc...

This is a must have tool for me!
Before I installed Live, I use (am still using)
Naviscope to check the headers. Now I have the
feature inside Mozilla... cool.
I am using Mozilla 1.3a (20021212), the Page Info
Tab works great, but the Live HTTP Headers window
does not, there is nothing inside the window.

Hey!

I have corrected the fr-FR DTD file so that they show up correctly.

The HTML entities like é=é are not allowed in *.dtd files, the format is UTF-8 so é=é.

I would like to know at whom I could send the corrected fr-FR files so that you could pack them with the XPI package.

Cheers :-)

Why does it say HTTP/1.x instead of HTTP/1.0 or HTTP/1.1 ?

Marcel

[8] Submitted by: LiveHTTPHeaders on Tuesday January 7th 2003

It says HTTP/1.x because I still didn't find a way to get
the protocol version used to make the request. As I don't know if 1.0 or 1.1 was used, I wrote 1.x.

[9] Submitted by: Eymert on Wednesday January 8th 2003

Hello, thanks for this great tool!

For my work, I also need to be able to see what HTTP headers are transfered from time to time. Until now, I always ran a packet sniffer during get or post actions, but that didn't work with SSL (obvious :-).

The only thing I ENORMOUSLY miss about this tool, is the following: When I post a HTTP form, this plugin doesn't capture which values for the form variables are sent along with the form. I just needed that part of the information.

Still, this tool can be of some use for me, but form variables would make this tool really perfect!

[10] Submitted by: Ian Hickson on Monday January 13th 2003

This should _so_ be a part of all trunk builds. Contact me (livehttpheaders@spam.hixie.ch) if you need help.

If it was part of the trunk, it would be a lot easier for this to be written correctly -- i.e. keeping track of things on a per-tab basis rather than a per-uri basis, etc.

[11] Submitted by: Nilson on Sunday January 19th 2003

Thanks for this wonderful tool!

[12] Submitted by: Macero on Thursday January 30th 2003

Excellent work, great implementation. Your tool has a *unique* featura that is not present in any other HTTP analyser: show content in HTTPS requests. Naviscope, Proximotron, or even trapping the BeforeNavigate2 event in Internet Explorer 5 can't handle https at all, or can't handle the content.
Again, excellent, and my final reason to move to Mozilla as dev broswer.

[13] Submitted by: Julian on Saturday February 1st 2003

Very useful. I especially like the headers tab - cool to have both request and response in one view, only three clicks away.

Well designed, but I have one suggestion: in the "Live HTTP headers", a checkbox to optionally always scroll to the bottom would be nice. For example when testing a webapp, you'd always see the most recent headers in view while clicking through the application.

Thanks for this great piece of software.

Help me someone! I cannot get mozilla (1.2.1, w2k) up and running. It stays in the background sucking 99% of CPU. What should I do to uninstall it? Thanx

[15] Submitted by: LiveHTTPHeaders on Wednesday February 12th 2003

As stated in the 'installation' page, if you need to uninstall livehttpheaders, you will need to edit these three files and remove the lines containing 'livehttpheaders' if present:
* chrome/installed-chrome.txt
* chrome/overlayinfo/communicator/content/overlays.rdf
* chrome/overlayinfo/navigator/content/overlays.rdf

How do you install this from source? Say I've downloaded
the xpi file to my hard drive, how do I install it automatically
like the online install does it?
zentara@zentara.net

[23] Submitted by: LiveHTTPHeaders on Wednesday February 26th 2003

Here are two ways to install LiveHTTPHeaders from hardisk:

1) If you download the .XPI on your hard drive and want to install it later, all you need to do is to do a 'File Open' of the XPI on your hard disk and it will ask you if you want to install it.

2) If you download the CVS sources and want to install it, you need to create a folder named 'livehttpheaders' under mozilla/chrome and put the source in it:
mozilla/chrome/livehttpheaders/content
mozilla/chrome/livehttpheaders/locale
mozilla/chrome/livehttpheaders/skins
and, after that, add the content of the file 'installed-chrome.cat' to the file mozilla/chrome/installed-chrome.txt.

[24] Submitted by: Kai Bolay on Wednesday February 26th 2003

Great tool!

I'm missing one function: I want to specify the IP address/host to which mozilla connects independently from the "Host:" header. This is to debug load-balanced applications. Intead of hitting the load-blancer I want to be able to hit individual machines (while still supporting name based virtual hosts)...

Is this possible with this extension? If not, could you add a feature which adds an additional field next to the URL bar which allows me to specify an IP. It can be done in two ways:

Example:

URL: http://www.loadbalanced.test/index.html
www.loadbalanced.test is a load-balancer at 192.168.0.100
the real web servers are at 192.168.0.101 and 192.168.0.2

a) extra field for "Host:". I'd enter
URL: http://192.168.0.101/index.html
Host: www.loadbalanced.test

b) extra field for "Target". I'd enter
URL: http://www.loadbalanced.test/index.html
Target: 192.168.0.101

both would lead to something similar as

telnet 192.168.0.101
GET /index.html HTTP/1.1
Host: www.loadbalanced.test

Who can help?

It doesn't seem to work for me with Mozilla 1.2.1 on Windows 98. I even did a clean (re)install of Mozilla and tried all available versions of livehttpheaders. The windows in Tools/Web Development/LiveHttpHeaders as well as in Page Info/Headers are always blank, no matter what.

[26] Submitted by: Anthony on Friday February 28th 2003

Excellent tool. The time I've wasted not having this... What would be even better would be to see the requests going from the JVM too (I appreciate there might be technical difficulties...)

[27] Submitted by: LiveHTTPHeaders on Friday February 28th 2003

For those that receive blank pages, it seems that if the page come from cache, the headers will not be available.
Also, the live window will only display request made while it is open and not from cache.
Try doing a reload or shift-reload of your page or empty your cache.

[28] Submitted by: Laur on Monday March 3rd 2003

It would be nice to have also an additional `download size' report () - per mimetype, in order to see how much is images, text and so on... this based on the browser behaviour, as it cannot be simulated with wget (ie. flash that downloads other flash movies and so on)

[29] Submitted by: Chris on Tuesday March 4th 2003

Using this extension on the following phoenix build.
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030221 Phoenix/0.5

The "Headers" tab does not seem to be added to the page info dialog like it is in Mozilla. Was this an oversight or intentional or left for future update?

"Live HTTP headers" window is available from "Tools" menu as expected though. However, I would place it after "Javascript Console" or something rather than at the bottom under "Options".

[30] Submitted by: Chris on Wednesday March 5th 2003

Ok. The "Headers" tab is available in the 0.5 milestone of Phoenix so your extension will have to be updated for newer builds. Also the extension does not appear in the "Extensions" area in preferences/options so you're probably missing the 'chrome:extension="true"' line in your contents.rdf. Here are the contents.rdf changes needed by Phoenix:
----------
chrome:authorURL="http://livehttpheaders.mozdev.org/"
chrome:description="Your description."
chrome:extension="true"

To install it, look at suggestion #23 (Wednesday February 26th 2003).

This is an awesome tool. One of the final straws that got me to completely switch from IE.

If you are interested in other possible improvements I suggest taking a look at HTTPwatch for Internet explorer. It is a pretty well developed product but it is definately not open source and it only works with IE. The most important differeces I can see are:

It displays info in a more condensed format with options to show more info (This is especially useful when the page has alot of images)

It explicitely shows when a page or image is pulled from the cache. And also display info about items in the cache (last modified/updated/accessed etc)

It shows the time taken to complete each request

These are just suggestions. I think the work you done so far is awesome and extremely useful

[36] Submitted by: Marc on Monday March 24th 2003

Ooops, forgot the url

The Trialware version of HttpWatch allows you to log and examine HTTP access to a number information for a number of well known sites including Yahoo!, Amazon, EBay and Microsoft.

For any who may use this extension on Phoenix, I have created a mod that fixes some bugs and quirks in newer Phoenix builds. It is available here: http://www.intraplanar.net/phoenix/livehttpheaders.html

Hopefully my changes will be incorporated into the main extension.

[38] Submitted by: Martin Geisler on Saturday March 29th 2003

Thanks for a very nice tool!

I would really like to see a filter mechanism for I'm usually not interested in seeing the headers generated when downloading images.

Second, then I would like to have a separator inserted between page loads. This is so that I can go to a page and get an set of headers. When I hit reload or follow a link, then it would be nice to easily be able to separate the new headers from the old ones.

[39] Submitted by: Bruce Heerssen on Friday April 4th 2003

I'd like to see an easy way to extract the information from the headers tab - maybe a 'save as' option, or the ability to copy all the info to the clipboard.

Right now you can copy the value of a single field, but you cannot copy the name and you cannot copy more than one value at a time, though you can select more than one. If you do select more than one header, only the value of the last one is copied to the clip board.

[40] Submitted by: Daniel Fournier on Tuesday April 8th 2003

Fine tool, really.

But, for dev purposes I need to desactivate it if necessary (I'm developing a front end to WebDAV and I already have my own HTTP headers dumping routines).

Uninstalling it each time would not be realistic, and at least I would like to eliminate the dumping messages; 'MODiFY: url'.

Do you have any suggestion for all that?

I'm trying to install on Mozilla 1.3 under Mac OS X, and it simply isn't working. Clicking on the install link on the installation page does nothing.

Thanks in advance.

[44] Submitted by: Chewtoy on Tuesday April 8th 2003

I'll second suggestion 42 - it'd be nice not to have to close and re-open it to clear the display for a new page.

Here's another suggestion - how about color-coding the requests and responses in the real-time display? I know it's not that difficult to tell which is which if you know http at all, but it would still be a nice addition, especially considering how big the list of http headers usually is.

[45] Submitted by: Sniffy McNickels on Tuesday April 8th 2003

[49] Submitted by: LiveHTTPHeaders on Friday April 18th 2003

Note for those using Linux (Unix) or Mac OS-X:
It may be necessary to install this add-on as root. Or at least, verify that you have write permissions on the mozilla/chrome directory and subdirectory. For future version of livehttpheaders, it may be necessary to have write permissions on the mozilla/components directory too.
Also, you need to check the 'enable software installation' setting under advanced preferences->Software installation.

Once again excellent Tools.

[56] Submitted by: Bill Burton on Thursday May 8th 2003

First discovered this very useful extension when trying out a Phoenix pre 0.6 build with version 0.5. Some thoughts:

* Please add support for a horizontal scrollbar and/or an option to wrap to the width of the window (preferable) maybe spliting on ";". The problem is my cookies together must be at least 256 characters wide. The only way to view them is to copy and paste the Cookie header to some other window.

* In pages with a lot of images, it's hard to find the original requested page. It would be very useful to have a simple filter that could take a list of suffixes, i.e. gif,jpg,png which would be ignored. There should also be a Filter checkbox or option to allow filtering to be turned on or off easily.

* In the Live HTTP Headers window, if you scroll to the end before issuing a request, it does follow new data added to the window. However, it still might be nice to have a Follow checkbox or option that would cause it to jump to the end when new data is added to the window.

[57] Submitted by: Sven Neuhaus on Thursday May 8th 2003

This is pretty awesome. You could borrow some ideas from Proxomitron or Paros ( http://www.proofsecure.com/ ), especially intercepting requests instead of replaying them, and the tree view...

Is there a good reason to require installation as root? Not all linux users are using it solely on their home machine, and few administrators are going to bother to install LiveHTTPHeaders on their machines.

[63] Submitted by: Daniel Savard on Monday June 16th 2003

For now, LiveHTTPHeaders can't be installed in the user chrome directory because it need to register a component (mozilla/components).

If you aren't root or don't have write permission to the mozilla/components and to the mozilla/chrome directory, you can install a new Mozilla in you own home directory. You will have full access to it and install what you want in this Mozilla. (This way, you can even try different version of Mozilla at the same time !)

[64] Submitted by: Laotzu Chi on Friday June 27th 2003

I come to suggestions page to ask for filters, but first look at todo list. I see tree view, and think maybe group by mime type would serve a lot of filter needs. But still, a grep mode with regex support would be nice on the raw data.

Also thinking a pipe to a cmd would be nice for replay mode.

[66] Submitted by: Bruce Heerssen on Monday July 7th 2003

I know this has been requested before, but I thought I'd add mine so that it would be seen as a more-often-requested feature.

I'd really like to be able to filter according to mime-type/extension. Images often do not contain useful information in their request/response headers, it would be nice to filter them out - along with other types of requests (flash,audio files, etc.)

Thanks, and keep up the good work. Live HTTP Headers is now an indespensible part of my toolbox.

[67] Submitted by: Mike Healan on Thursday July 10th 2003

It perhaps needs a setting that automatically deletes the oldest parts of the buffer once it reaches a certain size.

I left it going and forgot all about it for two days, and noticed Mozilla acting sluggish and eating 126MB of RAM. Turned out it was enormous buffer saved by the viewer. Deleted the contents and Mozilla started using only 30MB.

[68] Submitted by: Peter Frandsen on Saturday July 12th 2003

This seems like a very nice tool (although I have not been able to get it to work in Mozilla 1.4).

[79] Submitted by: Joel Fouse on Friday August 8th 2003

This is a great idea, and I'm glad someone's taken the time to implement it.

One suggestion about the "Replay" button -- make it disabled unless something is chosen to replay. If I click Replay right after a page has loaded, nothing happens. Once I click somewhere in the header for a specific object, though, Replay will bring up the replay window for that object. Disabling it when the user hasn't chosen a specific object to replay would also fix this bug: if I click on Replay right after opening the LiveHTTPHeaders window (when the header display field is blank), mozilla freezes and the cpu maxes out and stays there. Sure, it's user error, but the interface can help prevent that.

First of all, thank you for a real professional tool for Mozilla you introduced.

With the current version of LHH (0.6) it's only possible to *replay* the http-transaction that has already been carried out. Is it possible to "catch" outgoing HTTP request the very first time and allow to modify it?

[82] Submitted by: Daniel Savard on Wednesday August 13th 2003

It is still not possible to catch a new request and modify it before sending to the network. I'm able to catch the request but I'm not able to wait for user input without blocking all Mozilla.

I need to find a way to be able to freeze a thread without freezing the user interface.

[84] Submitted by: Vladislav Duma on Sunday August 24th 2003

Idea for comments 81-82:
Maybe it's possible to catch the request and substitute it with the a request to, for example, about:blank? This will prevent Mozilla from freezing, and will simulate doing nothing.

Or the plugin can catch only the access to the network? If so, maybe it's possible to substitute the initial request with a request to the page which is known to be empty (this page can be hosted on mozdev.org?). But this "solution" requires some handling of network errors...

Can you report a bug and tell more details about your actual configuration ?
Thanks

I want a toolbar button to open the window and I thought the multizilla toolbar would be a nice place to put it so I asked them for it: http://mozdev.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=4909

Figured it couldn't hurt to ask here too :)

Hello Daniel,

I was also using the Multizilla extension which is quite large, the Leech extension. Maybe these were causing problems?

I'm now using Mozilla 1.5, but I'm scared to install livehttpheaders for the same reason...

[114] Submitted by: Steve on Thursday November 13th 2003

Great tool.

I am using liveHTTPheaders 0.7 on Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007 Firebird/0.7 (OS: WinXP Pro).

Once there is some logged material and the Headers tab is selected, my CPU goes to 100%. It only drops back if I select another liveHTTPheaders tab, or move to another browser tab.

Is this just me or is this `expected' behaviour? Is this the same issue that was reported in item 14?

TIA.

[115] Submitted by: Steve on Thursday November 13th 2003

Regarding the previous post [114] I have performed a little more experimention and if I turn off "use style sheet" in the config tab of liveHTTPheaders then I do not get the CPU saturation.
??

[116] Submitted by: Daniel Savard on Thursday November 13th 2003

Regarding the previous post (114 and 115), this is a known bug with the style sheet. It seems that if there is two background image in a same tree, the cpu goes 100%. It seem to be more frequent on Windows thant Linux . This is why the style sheet is disabled by default.

[117] Submitted by: blinky42 on Friday November 14th 2003

Sweet!!!

This makes debugging sooo much easier.
A suggestion:
- Is there any way to do a tree view sort of thing where you see the request & response for the page as a parent of all the things loaded as a result of that response?

[118] Submitted by: Rich on Tuesday November 18th 2003

This is an awesome tool for looking at https headers. I work in Tech Support for a proxy product and we noticed that connect requests are not captured. It would certainly be helpful to have those requests/replies as well. (For those that do look at https traffic, the connect requests are in the clear and can be seen with packet analyzers. It is after the connect request/connection established that everything is encrypted and LiveHTTPHeaders is so helpful.)

Thanks again for this wonderful tool.

[119] Submitted by: Steve le Freak on Wednesday November 19th 2003

cool - i need that tool. but i think a sortable / selectable gridview would a big improvement.

[120] Submitted by: David Kolar on Wednesday November 19th 2003

Could livehttpheaders be modified so that one could pause between each network request? I want to step though how a page and its graphics are loaded over the Internet. When I'm developing a page, everything loads really quick over the LAN and I have no sense of how the page might be rendering over a slow connection.

Also, I am all for comment 112, or perhaps a sidebar option.

BTW livehttpheaders is a real gift--thank you!

[121] Submitted by: MMR on Thursday November 20th 2003

First of all, thanks for the wonderful tool.

One feature that I would love to see is the ability to ignore some requests, ideally based on a regex. So one could ignore all images/css for example.

[123] Submitted by: MK on Monday December 1st 2003

Thanks for the great extension!
My suggestion is to add a checkbox "view all data" so I could see headers and body of the SSL-accessible pages, or multi-framed ages, or multi-"Location: *" pages. It would be nice to have filters checking only text/* files (i.e., not for image/* or application/*).

[124] Submitted by: captainz on Monday December 15th 2003

Very nice utility.

Still can't get the response type (1.0 or 1.1) for HTTP headers, which is a shame as I've got a nasty protocol and proxies problem.

In the 'to do' list it suggests this might be working. Really? Anything I need to do?

[125] Submitted by: Erik Brandsberg on Thursday December 18th 2003

A few suggestions to improve an awsome tool:
1. Add "find" support to the headers, so you can find particular strings in large sets of headers.
2. Allow logging to a file, so that you can keep a log of all the headers.
3. Allow the configuration of an external processing script, i.e. a perl script, for pre-processing, which would allow removal of unwanted requests/responses in a progromatic manner, etc. This may make happy all the people wanting filters for the requests.

Erik Brandsberg

P.S. Awesome tool. I use it every day.

[126] Submitted by: Daniel Savard on Saturday December 20th 2003

As for the problem #124 (Can't get the response type (1.0 or 1.1) for HTTP Headers, you need to have at least Mozilla 1.5 and LiveHTTPHeaders 0.7 for this to work well.

[127] Submitted by: Steve VanSlyck on Monday December 22nd 2003

It would be nice to trace the request starting the moment the URL/URI is submitted by pressing . I am having trouble getting Moz to recognize 127.0.0.1 - it's almost as if it is totally ignoring the hosts file. Though I suspect its more than that because DNS is bypassing the hosts file too.

Version 0.8 mis-identifies itself as 0.7 in "About". I checked a bunch and am fairly certain that I actually did not install 0.7 by accident.

Fantastic tool - saved me hours while trying to figure out why Mozilla/Firebird wouldn't display PDF file stream coming out of a ASP.NET memory object. Thanks all around.

Someone already mentioned this, but...
An option to keep the window "on top" would be perfect. If would definetely save me a ton of clicks having to switch between windows.

Another great option (ok, this is gratuitouis) would be to add transparency support to the LH window with a sliding scale allowing the user to set the level of opacity.

Thanks.

[133] Submitted by: rizzo on Wednesday January 7th 2004

I saw some people asking for an ability to place the LH into sidebar. I figured it out and wanted to share this technique.

1. Add a new bookmark. Set the location to:
chrome://livehttpheaders/content/LiveHTTPHeaders.xul

2. Then go into Properties for the bookmark and check the checkbox stating "Load this bookmark in the sidebar".

That's it. Everytime, you select this bookmark, LiveHeaders will start in the sidebar. Not pretty but usable.

For post 136, there is a context menu (right button) when viewing the live window (no shortcut in this mode).

This will be standarized in the next version.

[144] Submitted by: Joao Pires on Monday February 16th 2004

My suggestion for LiveHttpHeaders to became an even better tool:
- Add a "request start" timestamp and a "render time" timestamp in miliseconds.
In my work I've to do a lot of performance analysis & enhacements, so it's very useful to know the pages' render performance in the client side.

Thanks a lot for your time and effort!

After installing this as root under Linux firefox crashes when i try to start it as difrent user.

Is there a workaround for this (something different from setuid root firefox of course)?

[146] Submitted by: Brian on Wednesday February 18th 2004

Add a filtering capability so I can skip requests of certain content types. Your tool is semi-helpfull when building web spiders, but I often have to spend a lot of time removing unwanted entries like images and redirects.

I'd also like to be able to get the output as XML so I can (easily) write a script to convert the output into spidering code.

Many thanks for one of the best Mozilla plugins out there! This is a must for our development shop, and just about all of us are using it now.

Request: I want to throw in my two-cents along with many others in the forum: We really need timestamps in the resulting output. Timestamps for the request start and end time would be excellent -- and a Total Processing Time calculation would also be wonderful.

Again, thanks!

However, I think a very nice feature would be if it had an option to show all the HTML thats being sent also. sometimes I would like to change something in form code which requires me to save the form on my computer and change the HTML. It would be alot more convenient if I were able to do that from your porgram

[153] Submitted by: BigFire on Thursday March 25th 2004

This one is more for the people like myself who uses the nightly build (every single day). Can the extension be installable to the user's profile folder in addition to the program's chrome? This will dramatically cuts down the daily ritual that I go through of re-installing Live HTTP Header whenever I install the nightly.

[154] Submitted by: jakarta on Wednesday April 7th 2004

Is it just me or does live HTTP headers not capture info sent when form buttons are clicked. Does it only work for regular html?

[155] Submitted by: Daniel Savard on Wednesday April 7th 2004

LiveHTTPHeaders should capture POST forms correctly. However, it only capture what goes to the network. If the cache is not set to 'always', this may be the cause of the problem.
If not, and your POST form is public on the internet, can you send me the URL so I can check what goes wrong ? (or fill a bug and write the URL in 'how to reproduce ' the bug).

I've added the capability to Exclude items from results much like the include regexp. Well, exactly the same infact. This way I can define that I only want to see requests from xyz.com but that I dont want to see requests for .jpg|gif|ico.

I'd be willing to migrate this code to the trunk if the developer or someone would give me a pointer to where to get started.

Note: I have one location bug after changing the code. The Overlay .xul has trouble finding the title of the application now. Odd. I've changed it to static text and that fixed the problem but this should be solved before and if I were merge my code to the trunk.

zip it back up (ie create a new zip archive containing everything as in the xpi file, but with the edited "install.rdf"), naming the newly created file to match the downloaded one.

Then just open the new livehttpheaders.xpi file from firefox's file menu, and install.

At least that worked for me, running on Linux.

If there are no issues with the change suggested by Pete (above) any chances of a quick release with the supported version bumped a little higher ?

Obviously now that I have read how to fix it myself, I'll give it a try (and live with what I get...)

Great tool by the way

As other people have suggested it might sometimes be useful to have some of the information collapsed so it doesn't clutter the screen

Maybe a feature similar to the capture one that allows more things to be captured, but instead of a full header display just display the url with a clickable tag to expand the information manually

Just a thought, as that would be really useful with images/css/js

Another useful addition would be to be able to right click on the url and open it in a tab or external editor (if it was still in the browser cache)

Re comment 190 for making LiveHTTPHeaders 0.9 install on Firefox 1.0PR, I changed the maxVersion to 1.1 in the install.rdf file but when I try to install it lets me try, and the extensions dialog appears but then a message box appears saying:

"
Firefox could not download the file at

file:///E:/livehttpheaders.xpi

because: Install script not found
"

The newly zipped xpi file does contain all the original files with *only* the install.rdf file tweaked. I'm installing on Windows 2000 and the installation is completely clean -- all original files were removed prior to install. Any ideas?

I found reason of wrong locale: Some FireFox extensions corrupted my profile. From their website: next quote:
"With some extensions, ASB1.0, AHB1.4 and AHB1.41 give a bad localization (switch extensions to french), i am very sorry for this mistake and it's now fixed with new versions."

So I uninstalled FireFox and deleted profile completly. And after reinstalling I got normal English LiveHTTPHeaders

re: "Firefox could not download the file at file:///E:/livehttpheaders.xpi" - sorry, all I can say is it worked for me (on linux) .. I suppose I'd check the filename of the new file is actually correct (with DIR in a command window!) if it happened to me, but I also suppose you've done that. I'm no expert on mozilla/firefox/extentions, I'm afraid. Sorry!

I have noticed that my "back" button is sometimes not working on new firefox, which *may possibly* be down to my bodging the livehttpheaders install - I don't know for sure because I've installed a few extensions and haven't been bothered to trace the error yet, which may be in the browser release for all I know! But it's possible there are good reasons for the delay in release..

I'm quite ignorant, and not good at reading documentation. Eg., I spent about an hour searching the extensions site for the "preferential" extension, getting madder and madder, considered downgrading back to firefox 0.9 and descended into sulks and deep gloom, then half a day later noticed about:config mentioned somewhere... ;)

I noticed after using the Replay function on a POST request that the Content-Type field failed to be transmitted. what's up?

i captured a POST transmition with LiveHTTPHeaders.
Replayed the transmition. (unaltered and again altered)
i captured the replayed transmition.

The Content-Type field is in the initial captured transmition but not in the replayed transmition.

Evidently my Replay transmition did nothing. That is, the POST request couldn't post onto the website.

I havent done any testing as to reveal any additional effects/limitations of this bug.

This is what was in the first captured header but not in the replay header. It's what needs to be in the Replay.
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

Refering my previous post:

Come to think of it, the Content-Length field is also missing from the replay transmition.

looking at the source code, I'd say LiveHTTPReplay.js is fine. It looks like whatever the prob is, its after live.play(...) and so im guessing LiveHTTPHeaders.js is to blame.

I'd like something (or an option for something) more like HTTPWatch:

- the window docked at the bottom of the content area like the FireFox 'Find' bar;

- a summary of requests in a tabular form along with request type, URL, time taken to retrieve the resource, and content type

- the ability to select a request from the summary and access more detailed info in a panel below it

I have one problem however, the "Live HTTP headers" item in the Tools menue appears twice. The same thing happens at a co-worker. I guess this came from any one of the upgrades to Firefox and/or LiveHTTPHeaders in the past couple of weeks. Does anyone know how to squash that little annoyance?

It should be possible quite easily to add the ability to write to a log in "Common Log" format, as described here:

http: // www.w3.org / Daemon/User/Config/Logging.html#common-logfile-format

For example:

10.1.1.2 - .admin.acme - [03/Aug/1999:12:07:14 +0000] "GET HTTP/1.0" 200 28850

P Address - The IP address used by the client

Authenticated User Name - The name of the user on the client machine

Date - The date on which the request was made

Time - The time of day at which the request was made (for example, 12:07:41)

Time Zone - The time zone on the server at which the request was made, as an offset from Greenwich Mean Time (for example, +0000)

HTTP Request - HTTP requests commonly seen in logs are:

GET (read a page or entity within a page)
HEAD (obtain the header information for a page)
POST (submit the results of a form)

URL - The URL of the site being accessed, including the domain name and the full path within the site (for example,

HTTP Version - The version of HTTP used by the requesting entity (this will always be "HTTP/1.x")

Status Code - A number which indicates whether or not the request made by the client has been successful.

File Size - The size of the file in bytes.

This would also satisfy many of the requests asking for info about the size of the page and other elements.

I'd like to have also something showing the delay (in milliseconds) between the request and the response.

That would help us to "see" how fast/slow are not only the servers but also the band.

Adding the ability to replay a full transaction (i.e. multi-step process) rather than a single page IN CONJUNCTION with adding the ability to compute timestamps (ex: content request time, page rendering time...perhaps some network related stats like dns connection, initial connection, first byte, etc) would make this an invaluable performance tool. Add on top of that the ability to schedule playbacks based on a list of scripts (ex: every 1,5,10,30,60 minutes, replay these 10 scripts in a row), and you've got yourself one hell of a performance monitoring tool.

Very cool concept, and there's some great ideas here for future releases.

But...

I can only get limited functionality.
When I right-click and go to Page Info I see the tab, and the headers. But, if the header is long, it's cut off, as in: " I don't know how to correct this. And the vertical scroll bars don't work.

Also, I can get it to appear in the Sidebar, but I don't see any headers in it. And when clicking on Tools - Web Development, I see the window, but there's no headers there either. And no way to reload.

Needs work. Should be awesome when it's done though.

Thanks

If you can't download or install LiveHTTPHeaders, you may need to go to:
Edit -> Preferences -> Web Features
You should check 'Allow web site to install software'
And verify that 'livehttpheaders.mozdev.org' is in the 'allowed web site list'.

Cool plugin - we use to simulate the browser on mobile phones and is great for simulating the headers that these devices send.
A Feature that we would find really useful is to be able to add/edit headers that are sent with every request. In the way that user agent switcher does but for any header.

Unfortunately after the usual restart now I have a localisation problem with the extension textplain.

I've been using the LiveHTTPHeaders extension for some time with the Tabbrowser Extensions, but after TBE killed yet another profile I decided to try and repace it's functionality with one or more other extensions, and finally found SessionSaver, MiniT & Tabbrowser Prefs combined did this job nicely. I do quite alot of website development, so regularily use to validate my pages; since switching from the TBE for the reasons I explained above i've been experiencing crashes when I upload pages to the validator so I decided to investigate:

With a fresh Firefox profile I began installing my extensions one by one and testing this until it started crashing - with LiveHTTPHeaders, SessionSaver, MiniT & Tabbrowser Prefs installed I encountered the problem again. I then started with another fresh profile & began testing them two at a time until I found that it was a combination of LiveHTTPHeaders & the SessionSaver extensions which caused this problem (I have checked, and they do both work individually though). Every combination of setting for both LiveHTTPHeaders & Session Saver caused these problems, so as a work-around i've uninstalled LiveHTTPHeaders from my default profile & have made a new one specifically for using that extension (Session Saver is used nearly every day but LiveHTTPHeaders only gets used once or twice a week) -
however this is obviously not a great situation to be in.

I'm posting this conflict/bug both here & on the SessionSaver topic on mozillazine in hopes that somebody has some idea what is causing it and can come up with a work-around...

Hi,

I was excited about LiveHttpHeaders initially and now I use livehttpheaders very regulary.

I've few suggestions.

1.Show the request immediately after sending the request don't wait till response comes.
(This gives an idea,for which entity the browser is waiting).
2. Add a feature to see the Response content as well.
3. Provide an option to save the content with the content type.(like JPEG)
4.Some tree based display to hide/unhide Request/Response.

Let me know if I sound vauge.

I know it was asked previously, but it would be useful to intercept outgoing http requests instead of (only) recording them if the corresponding option is checked. I would imagine this as a popup showing up when the request is about to be sent and allowing to edit it on-the-fly (possibly with a filter).

I am writing a Python script that replays the dump file using httplib (fixing up the cookies from the first run as it finds them changed in the second run), because replaying through Mozilla is not so convenient for GUI scraping. It's all working, but would have been *much* easier if for POST operations there was a newline (\r\n) between the headers in the request and the request data, also a newline after the request data, before the HTTP response.

It wouldn't be as robust as an XML representation, but it would make a big difference for simple form scraping , like I'm doing. I hope you'll consider it for the next version - I tried to figure out how to add it myself, but I got lost in the Jar file - sorry.. :-(.

cheers,

Suggestions:

In the "Headers" tab, you separate header blocks with a thin, black line. It would be nice if you also used a light gray background color for every other header block in order to make it more distinguishable.

A toolbar button (mentioned previously).

For the above problem with FireFox 1.0.4, you need to click on the "Edit Options..." button and on the "Allow" button to add "livehttpheaders.mozdev.org" to the list of permitted site.
Once the above is done, you can try to install LiveHTTPHeaders again. It should work.

Is there a way to move it higher up the list so the often-used Options... remains at the bottom of the menu? Is there a pref file that I can edit to achieve this? Thanks in advance.

I cannot get the Replay feature to work at all! And I'm not a dumb user... I use Parosproxy all the time. I select an entry, click on "Replay" and the "Live HTTP Replay" dialog box appears. But when I click on the "Replay" button... NOTHING happens.

I even used Ethereal to see if anything was happening and perhaps it just wasn't displaying...nope.. no traffic whatsoever.

I'm stumped.

For the replay problem, it depends of the cache settings of the browser. You may need to set the cache to 'Everytime' or clear it before replaying. The replay function use all the internal mechanism of Mozilla/Firefox. So it can't bypass the cache behavior.

After closing the Live-HTTP-headers window (with either of the Close-Buttons (which seem to all trigger window.close()) I get tons "Components is not defined" in LiveHTTPHeaders.js line 424.

To me this looks like the removeFromListener is not working well and HeaderInfoLive.observe is called after destruction of liveHTTPheaders. Can anyone reproduce this (Open liveHTTPheaders, close it again, keep surfing while having a look at JavaScript Console)? Any fixes?

Hi!
It would be nice, if I can edit every request and responses by LiveHTTPHeaders.
For example:
I set response RegEx to:
s/name="quality" value=" high"/name="quality" value="low"/g
and then, every flash movie be in 'low' quality. This is only example, but this future for LiveHTTPHeaders will be very, very usefull.

Is it possible to detect which fields in a POST is password fields, and not display them in the list of headers? Or perhaps have an option where POST parameters aren't shown at all? It would make it easier to use in cooperation with others without having to resort to test accounts and password.

Comment to comment 305 ( A bit of clarification about version numbering. 0.10 is greater than 0.9, but 0.1.0 are not. Think of it this way: 0.10.0 and 0.9.0.

there is a bug in using this with FF, in that with certain apps, when you upload a JPEG to a website, FF crashes. Removing LiveHTTPHeaders removes the fault condition. In my case, the JPEG upload was via a popup window, and the upload completes, but as soon as it does and the page wants to update to show the newly arrived file, all of FF crashes instantly and consistently.

Very useful extension, thank you. My only request would be to move the "Live HTTP Headers" entry on the "Tools" menu so it's not below the main "Options..." entry. It seems more appropriate to have it up with the "JavaScript Console", "Page Info", and "DOM Inspector" entries (this is where the Web Developer extension puts its tools menu entry). Plus people are very used to having "Options..." last on the tools menu for easy selection.

I wonder if we can make livehttpheader capture traffic from the window it was fired from. I don't want to monitor all my Mozilla traffic, I only need a few of them. Maybe a filter could solve this problem? Something like: capture traffic from spesific address only, or capture all traffic designated to spesific address only. It could be filtering any aspect of the header.

Earlier I requested that the Live HTTP Headers entry on the Tools menu not appear at the very bottom below the main Options entry. Since then it's bothered me enough that I fixed it myself. Here's what I did, in case the author of this extension or anyone else wants to duplicate it themselves.

Open the following file:
livehttpheaders-0.11.xpi/chrome/livehttpheaders.jar/content/TasksOverlay.xul

Find the menupopup tag with id="menu_ToolsPopup" and add the following attribute to the menuitem tag within it:
insertbefore="prefSep"

Then repack the changed files into the XPI and install it manually.

A nice thing which i think is very 'needy', is a feature where you can sort the pages.

For example:
-- www.abc.com
- abc.com stuff (headers, cookies)
-- www.doom9.net
- doom9.net stuff

I've used this for a LONG time, and I like it. I see on TODO list that you will monitor time across whole request. Can I suggest also monitoring content-length across a whole series of requests, i.e. say I request a client's home page, I get the total content length required to display that page, by adding together the content-lengths returned for the various sub requests (html, external js, images, css, etc). What do you think?

Many thanks fr this tool, it is very useful.
One suggestion : the content data is not displayed in the server response. I see only the 200 OK status, the header parameters, and the content-length.
In the http request (for ex a POST), the full content parameters are displayed by the tool.
This could be very useful also in the response.

Hello,

I am requesting a feature for your great "livehttpheaders" which will enable HTTP/S environmental variable header filtering.

HTTP/S headers include information about the systems in use. This is bad in regards to security, privacy, crackers, etc.

There are HTTP proxy programs such as "Privoxy" and "Proximodo" which filter HTTP environmental variable headers. Unfortunitly, none of the existing HTTP header filtering solutions are able to filter HTTPS data due to the nature of HTTPS (eg. SSL) encryption.

As Firefox has access to the verified and decrypted
HTTPS headers FF is in the best position to filter the
decrypted HTTPS headers on-the-fly.

A Firefox extension may be the best option for HTTP/S header filtering as explained in this quote:

"The only way to do this is via extensions to the
browser. That way you do not interfere with CRL/OCSP for true cert verification...And you get SSL for free, because your extensions see the web data AFTER the
browser has performed (optional) rigorous checks to
make sure the cert has not been revoked or otherwise
compromised/spoofed."

I requested this feature as an extension at

But, then I found your great extension and I thought
you may be interested in adding this feature to your extension. I thought you may be able to implament this feature faster/better than others due to the nature of your "livehttpheaders" extension.

Here are the HTTP/S Environmental Variable Headers that IMO should be filtered or spoofed:

'Referrer' =
Should be spoofed to match the home-page of the
server/site the user is actively connected to.

'User-Agent' =
Should be user configurable for OS, encryption strength, language, browser, etc

'Proxy-Connection' =
Should be set to the paramiter "Close"

'Accept-Language' =
Should be user configurable, generally to match the language in "User-Agent".

'Prevent-Compression' =
The FF extension should add a HTTP/S header to each
request so only uncompressed transfers are requested.

'X-Forwarded-for' =

a.)Should be able to forge "X-Forwarded-for:" headers using random IP addresses from a specified network, to make successive requests from the same client look like requests from a pool of different users sharing the same proxy.

b.) If 'a.)' is not feasable then the next best option is the removal (eg. deletion) of the HTTP/S header "X-Forwarded-for" from client requests and prevent creation of new ones.

Thank you,

It would be helpful if the content-length could update automatically to reflect manual changes to POST content when using the replay feature. Incorrect content-length causes an Invalid Header error from Firefox, making it automatic would prevent that error.

Being a Safari user the Activity window has become key to my development process... Live HTTP Headers helps on the FireFox side, but I'd love to see a few of the Activity Window's features added:

1. Website grouping. Safari organizes the activity based on the url, a collapsable menu allows you to see only the activity you want.
2. File Sizes. Safari allows you to see the progress of files as they load, showing the bytesLoaded and the bytesTotal (Flash jargon).

Nice Work.

The one thing I would much like to see added to this fantastic extension is the ability to view the response data. This is the same request as item #365 above, but i'd also like the option to uncompress the content AND be able to do a "find" on the content. Item #375 talks about searching the headers, would be nice to search content as well if it's eventually displayed.

If I could think of a single feature that would help me the most, it would be the ability to link Live HTTP Headers to capture activity in one tab or window instead of all of them. Ideally if it could still capture IFRAME or XmlHTTPRequest activity inside that window too. This would allow me to switch between tabs while I'm debugging and only capture data from my 'live' window while I browse/debug in others.

also, the help on the app is zero. not at all helpful.

For the Mac and Alt+L problem, you can do this:
1. Extract the content of the livehttpheaders-0.13.1.xpi, it's just a ZIP archive
2. Navigate to chrome\livehttpheaders.jar
3. Extract the content of the livehttpheaders.jar, it's a ZIP archive too
4. Edit the following lines from the file content\tasksOverlay.xul,

.........

.........

you can change the key 'L' to whatever you think is appropriate. Alternatively you can change the key modifier.
5. Replace file tasksOverlay.xul in livehttpheaders.jar and then replace the whole livehttpheaders.jar within livehttpheaders-0.13.1.xpi
6. Reinstall the extension

Win32 German: Please change the shortcut, because Alt-L is already taken by the menu "Lesezeichen" (bookmarks).
AFAIK Alt-V is not yet taken.
In general, why use "Alt" for a shortcut? how about Ctrl+Shift+L?

In a variant of tab-specific traffic, would appreciate a back-indicator to the tab framing the reported traffic (perhaps on the context menu enabled after select block, but an active indicator and link would be better). This indicator would be ideally a link which would take focus to that window.tab; alternatively just naming the tab's url.

Some suggestions for your Web pages:

Please add directions for removing this extension. No, I don't want to remove it now. But that information would be useful just in case I have to remove it.

When you announce a new version, please put the date in the sidebar on the right side of the home page.

I would like a feature "generate wget commands".
This means, I would like a way to get a ready-to-run wget command which simulates the same output (either with -O- to stdout or to a predefined filename).

Here is the example scenario:
- open Firefox
- start livehttpheaders
- login to some site using some form => writes a session cookie to a tmp file
- create a POST request in another form, while the session-cookie from the tmp file is provided.

Thank you for making this tool!

One option I don't seem to find is to also view the entire HTTP, not just the headers. I am also interested in the content. I tried WireShark but that doesn't seem to catch the HTTP conversation when the browser and web server is on the same machine. I am trying to get started with Ajax and don't seem to be able to catch the complete asynchronous HTTP call.

I'm using Live HTTP Headers for quite a while now on my Windows computer and after I switched to a macbook pro I'm experiencing the problem that LHH interferes with the native mac shortcuts.

After installing LHH on my powerbook I can't write the @ symbol anymore in FireFox. Because the native shortcut for @ is ALT+L, the same as the LHH sidebar
