I am debugging a web application which redirects several times on page load. Page A redirects to page B, which redirects to page C. I don't know what methodology is used (e.g. JavaScript, HTTP redirects, etc.).
What I'm looking for is a debugger to break before a page gets redirected, so that I can inspect exactly what method is being used to redirect, and what data is being sent to next page in the redirect chain.
Is there a simple way to do that? I'm debugging on Windows, so Chrome, Firefox and IE are all available.
UPDATE: It seems that Fiddler is the best option available. I marked the answer from @cgatian as a solution, since his was the Fiddler idea.

You can enable redirect debugging by going to Settings > Debug wp_redirect() on your site or in your network settings (if network activated). You have the option to enable debugging for frontend requests and/or admin dashboard requests.
Type "cache:sitename.com" in the address bar of Chrome and press "Enter" where "sitename" is the URL that is generating the redirect. This will show you a cached version of the site on which you can use the Inspect Element pane to find and capture the redirect URL.
In chrome, in the debug window, at the very bottom, are a series of buttons. Click the button that is a dark black circle. It will preserve the log upon navigation. I think that is what you want.
