I use a tool on Mozilla.org : http://webtools.mozilla.org/web-sniffer/ You can give it a URL and it will show you the source of the page, including the full page headers - very handy for debugging content types and seeing what web server a site runs. You can specify the URL to check in the query string (handy for bookmarklets and Mozilla shortcuts): http://webtools.mozilla.org/web-sniffer/view.cgi?url=http://www.mozilla.org HTH, Simon
