An Essential Firefox Extension For Apache Junkies

If you've worked with Apache much at all, you have probably used some Redirect commands, or even mod_rewrite. Every once in a while these nasty inifinite loops occur or you just get the wrong content from the server. LiveHTTPHeaders is the Firefox developer tool for exactly these situations.
To the right is a screen shot of the extension in action after requesting http://www.google.com. As you can see, it displays all of the http headers including cookies. The extension is easily activated by pressing Alt-L (on Windows, not sure on OSX) and can even save headers to disk.
For everyone upgrading from Firefox 1.0.7 to Firefox 1.5, make sure you get the new version, 0.11. You can download it from the LiveHTTPHeaders site, or from http://ftp.rz.tu-bs.de/. I wasn't able to get the version on the official site to work, so I grabbed it from the ftp server. Enjoy!
