| HTTP Header Viewer | |

| I noticed last night that Peter Lowe removed the browser header viewer | |
| from his website[1]... After a cursory Google search for another one, I | |
| determined that I *hate* everyone else's, typically because of excessive | |
| amounts of advertisements on the pages. | |
| As a result I quickly hacked a page up on my web server duplicating the | |
| basic functionality of his. It's available at: | |
| http://gopher.zcrayfish.soy/browser_headers.sh | |
| I tested it on NCSA Mosaic and it works, what more could anyone ask for? | |

| I'm not sure what you're going on about because your wget example is 50% | |
| GNU options that are not present in other folks' wget implementations... | |
| But I am assuming that it prints either headers sent by the server | |
| and/or headers sent by GNU wget... In either case my post was about | |
| headers sent by the browser. | |

| I see, you're using type 'w' instead of 'h', so UMN Gopher doesn't show | |
| the Web selectors. Wasn't GNU Wget the original Wget? | |

| Thanks for letting me know about the UMN Gopher not displaying types it | |
| doesn't understand, I don't have that client. I tested the change on | |
| lynx, NCSA Mosaic, Lagrange, and w3m, which are the clients I have on- | |
| hand... Additionally tested on the floodgap proxy. | |

| Use netcat to listen on local port, point browser there and see headers | |
| printed out ad-free. | |
