Parsing Raw Response Headers
Response headers tell you how a server handled a request. Parsing them reveals caching, content type and more.
Understand the response
Response headers report the content type, caching rules, and any custom server behaviour. Structuring them clarifies why a response looks the way it does.
Diagnose caching
Cache-Control, ETag and related headers explain whether a response was cached or revalidated. Parsing them helps when content seems stale or refuses to update.
