Viewing Entire HTTP Header ?

[Mark]

hello!

is there a way in code to view the entire HTTP Header? Many of the
variables in $_SERVER have much of the header, as do some of the apache
functions, but none seem to have a way to show the body that was sent with
the request.

any suggestions for how i would go about doing this? It's mostly for
documentation and instructional purposes, but i'd like to see the results
without having to construct them by hand and telnet'ing into port 80 all
the time ....

thanks.
mark.

http://www.php.net/get_all_headers

Never used it myself and looks like it only works with Apache (and
Netscape/iPlanet/SunONE from 4.3.3) and then only when compiled as a
module (ie not a CGI).

This is not an in code solution, but if you want to see the headers that
were sent to your client, I suggest a proxy debugger like Charles:
http://www.xk72.com/charles/. One of those "how did I ever live without it"
dev tools.

To see all headers being sent to your browers get firefox and the httpheaders
plugin. It displays everything in a nice window for you.

doesn't seem to exist in PHP5. There is a function called
apache_request_headers but ....

it only returns the actual headers, NOT the message body as well.

and looking at my question, that means i didn't quite ask it right, but i
want to see the entire HTTP request.

there does not appear to be a way to do this from with PHP yet ...

d'oh!

thanks,
mark.

file_get_contents("php://input") will give you the body of the request.

It's documented here: http://us3.php.net/manual/en/wrappers.php.php
There are several php:// urls used to access the input and output
streams from PHP. php://input is used to access the body of a POST
request. The variable $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA could be used aswell.
