Is there any GUI for viewing Apache headers which are being served by a chain
of Reverse Proxy Servers.
I have a cloud which uses a few Proxy Servers in between the client and actual
server which has to serve the original request.
All servers are Unix Servers.
And if there is a problem which I do not get a clue to then to be able to post
them here
downloading and doing an ftp of those headers with all the logs ,
loging in each time to each proxy server and Opening the browser and exporting
the
X display to some remote server each time from the chain and then observing
HTTP_RESPONSES and checking the request from each of those servers and then
posting log with configuration and response takes at least 2-3 hours to type an
email.
Is there a shorter way to do so?
To pick up where Mark left off :-)
and if I understand you correctly :
A HTTP "HEAD" request (instead of a GET), has the effect that a webserver sends
back a response with only the HTTP headers (not the body) that it would send
for a
"normal" response to a GET.
Unfortunately, browsers do not make it easy to send a HEAD request on purpose.
But, assuming you have a direct HTTP access to all the servers in your proxy chain, you
could use a command-line program such as curl, wget or perl's lwp-request, to send your
original URL request to the first proxy, and see what it answers; then to the second
proxy, the 3rd
etc..
Example with perl's lwp-request :
# lwp-request -m HEAD -Sed http://www.google.com
HEAD http://www.google.com --> 302 Found
HEAD http://www.google.de/ --> 200 OK

lwp-request comes as a standard utility with perl.
For help, use
lwp-request -h
curl, wget and other similar tools have comparable capabilities.
