Hi HN -- I built HTTP:COLON, a small, open-source web tool for quickly checking a site’s HTTP response headers and learning what they mean as you go.Link: https://httpcolon.dev/What it does- Enter a URL and fetch its response headers- Groups common headers into handy buckets (cache, content, security)- Includes short docs/tooltips for headers and directives so you can look things up while debugging. I find hovering on highlighted headers quite useful!Supports different HTTP methods (GET/POST/PUT/DELETE)Deep links- You can link directly to a host, e.g. https://httpcolon.dev/www.google.com(or any domain) to jump straight into inspecting it.Why I made it- I kept bouncing between DevTools, MDN,

The company sits in the show hn launch segment, where it competes on its core product or service.

Its current recorded stage is Show HN launch.
