HTTP Request Parser

Parsing Raw HTTP Requests for API and Web Debugging

Raw HTTP requests are often copied from proxy tools, server logs, browser debugging sessions, API gateways, load balancers, and security tools. They contain useful details, but reading the method, target, headers, query parameters, cookies, and body by hand can be slow and error-prone.

This HTTP Request Parser breaks a raw request into structured pieces so you can inspect it quickly. It helps with API debugging, request reproduction, header review, cookie inspection, query parameter checks, and converting a raw request into a safer summary or cURL command.

Inspecting HTTP Requests Without Manual Splitting

1. Paste a raw HTTP request into the input box.
2. Select how the request body should be parsed.
3. Choose summary, JSON, or cURL output.
4. Review the request line, URL, headers, cookies, query parameters, and body.
5. Copy the parsed output after hiding or including sensitive headers.

Common HTTP Request Parser Use Cases

• Debugging API requests copied from logs or proxy tools.
• Inspecting headers, cookies, and authorization behavior.
• Checking query parameters and URL-encoded values.
• Reviewing JSON or form request bodies before replaying them.
• Converting raw requests into cURL commands for testing.
• Documenting request examples without manually formatting every part.

Example Raw HTTP Request

POST /api/users?role=admin HTTP/1.1
Host: example.com
Content-Type: application/json
Authorization: Bearer token

{
  "name": "Yoryantra User"
}

Reviewing Sensitive Request Data

Raw HTTP requests often contain tokens, cookies, session IDs, API keys, and authorization headers. This tool hides sensitive header values from copied output by default so it is safer to share parsed summaries in tickets, documentation, or chat messages.

You can choose to include sensitive headers when you are debugging locally, but avoid pasting real secrets into public issues, support threads, or documentation.
