I've installed FireBug, but I am not sure how to find out if a certain http header is present in my HTTP response. Where should I look for this information?

How do I view HTTP response headers?

To view the request or response HTTP headers in Google Chrome, take the following steps : In Chrome, visit a URL, right click , select Inspect to open the developer tools. Select Network tab. Reload the page, select any HTTP request on the left panel, and the HTTP headers will be displayed on the right panel.

How do I use HTTP Debugger?

Simply drag the pane header to a required place. HTTP Debugger automatically processes and shows all HTTP header parameters in an easy-to- understand tabular format. The built-in editor automatically highlights the syntax of the common file types: HTML, XML, JavaScript, etc.

Use the Net tab in Firebug to monitor network traffic. There you can see the complete headers as well as the timing and content of any network/HTTP queries.

Fiddler is the best tool I know of to do this and much more, including inspecting the entire request/response in many formats including a nice XML browser.
