How to use .well-known inspector
-
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/well-known 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/well-known?q=https%3A%2F%2Fhostinfo.com
curl -s '/api/v1/http/well-known?q=https%3A%2F%2Fhostinfo.com'
Embed this tool
<iframe src="/http/well-known?q={INPUT}&embed=1"
width="100%" height="600" frameborder="0"></iframe>
Drop into any HTML page. The embed=1 flag hides nav and footer.
