Website that will let me run an HTTP Trace?

I'm looking for a website that when given a URL will show you a trace of all the information that is sent when communication with this domain (e.g. HTTP headers). Specifically, I want to see how URL redirects are handled: what type of redirect is used (e.g. 301 or 302) and to what URL it is redirected to.

  • You're looking for http://network-tools.com/

    The site lets you do:

    • Ping
    • DNS Lookup
    • Trace
    • WhoIs
    • URL Encode
    • URL Decode
    • Email Verify
    • and Spam Blacklist Check

  • The Domain Dossier on CentralOps.net has a Service Scan option which does exactly that, among many other features.

    This is the result from stackexchange.com
