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.
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.
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.
You might be looking for Fiddler2
Fiddler is a Web Debugging Proxy which logs all HTTP(S) traffic between your computer and the Internet. Fiddler allows you to inspect all HTTP(S) traffic, set breakpoints, and "fiddle" with incoming or outgoing data. Fiddler includes a powerful event-based scripting subsystem, and can be extended using any .NET language.
Fiddler is freeware and can debug traffic from virtually any application, including Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, and thousands more.
