Examine http response headers in IE8

I'm looking for an ie8-addon that displays the http headers like firebug or httpliveheaders do. Any advice is appreciated.

edit: I may be blind but it seems as if the built-in developer tools (F12) do not show the http headers.

How do I view HTTP response headers in IE?

Internet Explorer Open the Network tool using [Ctrl]+4. You must manually start data collection using [F5]. Once you have some output simply double-click on the name of any object to view the HTTP headers (as well as Request Method, Response Status Code and HTTP version in relevant panels) related to it.

What are HTTP response headers?

A response header is an HTTP header that can be used in an HTTP response and that doesn't relate to the content of the message. Response headers, like Age , Location or Server are used to give a more detailed context of the response.
