HTTP Header Viewer

I noticed last night that Peter Lowe removed the browser header viewer
from his website[1]... After a cursory Google search for another one, I
determined that I *hate* everyone else's, typically because of excessive
amounts of advertisements on the pages.

As a result I quickly hacked a page up on my web server duplicating the
basic functionality of his. It's available at:

=> http://gopher.zcrayfish.soy/browser_headers.sh

I tested it on NCSA Mosaic and it works, what more could anyone ask for?

I'm not sure what you're going on about because your wget example is 50%
GNU options that are not present in other folks' wget implementations...
But I am assuming that it prints either headers sent by the server
and/or headers sent by GNU wget... In either case my post was about 
headers sent by the browser.

I see, you're using type 'w' instead of 'h', so UMN Gopher doesn't show 
the Web selectors. Wasn't GNU Wget the original Wget?

Thanks for letting me know about the UMN Gopher not displaying types it
doesn't understand, I don't have that client. I tested the change on
lynx, NCSA Mosaic, Lagrange, and w3m, which are the clients I have on-
hand... Additionally tested on the floodgap proxy.

Use netcat to listen on local port, point browser there and see headers 
printed out ad-free.
