How can I view HTTP headers in Google Chrome?

Till 9.x, the headers were under the resources in the Developer Tools, but now I can't find it anywhere.


Solution 1:

I'm not sure about your exact version, but Chrome has a tab "Network" with several items and when I click on them I can see the headers on the right in a tab.

Press F12 on windows or ⌥⌘I on a mac to bring up the Chrome developer tools.

Chrome developer tools headers tab

Solution 2:

For me, as of Google Chrome Version 46.0.2490.71 m, the Headers info area is a little hidden. To access:

  1. While the browser is open, press F12 to access Web Developer tools

  2. When opened, click the "Network" option

  3. Initially, it is possible the page data is not present/up to date. Refresh the page if necessary

  4. Observe the page information appears in the listing. (Also, make sure "All" is selected next to the "Hide data URLs" checkbox)

Solution 3:

I loved the FireFox Header Spy extension so much that i built a HTTP Spy extension for Chrome. I used to use the developer tools too for debugging headers, but now my life is so much better.

Here is a Chrome extension that allows you to view request-, response headers and cookies without any extra clicks right after the page is loaded.

It also handles redirects. It comes with an unobtrusive micro-mode that only shows a hand picked selection of response headers and a normal mode that shows all the information.
