What is HTTP Inspector?

An HTTP inspector shows status codes, headers, redirects, and response metadata so you can debug web delivery and security header configuration.

How it works

PacketWizard requests the URL you provide and reports the response chain — useful for CDN, reverse-proxy, and application troubleshooting.

Common issues

  • Unexpected redirects

    HTTP→HTTPS, www↔apex, and locale redirects can multiply. Inspect the full chain before changing DNS or load balancer rules.

  • Security headers missing

    CDNs and origin apps must both emit headers. Confirm which hop should own HSTS, CSP, and related policies.

Frequently asked questions

Can I inspect authenticated pages?

This tool is for publicly reachable URLs. Authenticated app flows usually need session cookies that a generic inspector should not collect.
