How to inspect HTTP headers for GET request in Chrome


When troubleshooting HTTP protocol it is required to inspection and verify various HTTP headers for the sending requests and receiving response.


Problem

When in Chrome navigating to http://example.com/mysite.html URL how to see all headers.

Solution and demonstration

There are very few extensions that allow you to inspect the request headers  Most of them give you access to the response data only. The Developer tools is the only one extension I found that shows request and response headers in Chrome.

This is how you can start and test it:
