HttpAnalyzer V 1.0
This script is able to record the ENTIRE transaction of data from Server to client. When viewing a webpage, you only see a part of what the server sent you - the content. What you don't see are the headers. This small scripts makes the headers visible to you.
Why you should care about header information? Well, there's a few reasons:
- You can take a look at cookies and their expiration date
- You can see what platform the server runs on
- You can see if you get redirected or not
- You can see a lot of useful additional info on the server
All of them are a good reason to take a look at the header info. I original developed this script for runescape.com only as private script. I've changed my mind though and now, 2 years after its creation, fixed it up and made it public. One of the reasons I created it was to check wether RS were updating their mechanisms against scripts accessing their website, wether they used cookies to track you or not. Today, when jagex forbids bots to parse content from their site, something like this is needed more than ever.

{ script. }
