How to use HTTP headers

1

Paste your input

Enter the value at the top — domain, IP, URL, email, ASN, hash, whatever fits this tool. The smart input auto-detects type.
2

Click "Inspect"

host.tools issues real probes (DNS, HTTP, TCP, TLS, WHOIS where applicable) and renders the result in milliseconds.
3

Open the API tab

Every web tool has a sibling /api/v1/http/headers JSON endpoint with the same payload. One copy-as-curl click and you're scripting it.

Why this matters

Headers are how the modern web declares its security posture. Auditing them is the highest-ROI thing you can do this week.

API equivalent

/api/v1/http/headers?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2Fsitemap.xml

curl -s '/api/v1/http/headers?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2Fsitemap.xml'

Embed this tool

<iframe src="/http/headers?q={INPUT}&embed=1"
  width="100%" height="600" frameborder="0"></iframe>

Drop into any HTML page. The embed=1 flag hides nav and footer.

FAQ · HTTP headers

Common questions

Is HTTP headers free?

Yes — every tool is free on the web with a 200/hour rate limit per IP. The matching API endpoint /api/v1/http/headers is free up to 100 requests/hour, no key required.

Where does the data come from?

Real-time probes against authoritative sources (DNS root, RIRs, registries, the target server itself), plus partner data feeds from hostinfo.com (GeoIP/ASN) and hostcheck.com (reputation).

How fresh are the results?

Live by default. Cached for 5 minutes to make repeat queries instant; pass ?nocache=1 for a forced refresh.

Can I run this from the command line?

Yes — every tool ships with a copy-as-curl. There's also an official CLI: host.tools http headers YOUR_INPUT.

Can I monitor results over time?
