HTTP Response Formatter

Formatting Raw HTTP Responses for Easier Debugging

Raw HTTP responses are useful because they show exactly what came back from a server: status code, headers, cookies, cache behavior, redirect location, content type, and body data. But they can be hard to read when everything is copied from logs or proxy tools.

This HTTP Response Formatter turns a raw response into a cleaner view. It formats JSON bodies, separates headers, highlights useful response details, and keeps cookie values hidden by default when you copy output.

Cleaning Up an HTTP Response

1. Paste a raw HTTP response into the input box.
2. Choose how the response body should be formatted.
3. Keep cookie values hidden if you plan to share the output.
4. Review the status, headers, cookies, and body preview.
5. Copy the formatted response, summary, or headers-only output.

Common HTTP Response Formatter Use Cases

• Formatting API responses copied from logs or proxy tools.
• Cleaning JSON response bodies before sharing them.
• Checking status codes, content type, redirects, and cache headers.
• Inspecting Set-Cookie values and cookie attributes.
• Preparing a cleaner response example for tickets or notes.
• Debugging why an API response behaves differently than expected.

Example HTTP Response

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/json
Set-Cookie: session_id=abc123; Path=/; HttpOnly; Secure

{"success":true,"items":[1,2,3]}

Cookies, Headers, and Shared Debug Notes

HTTP responses can include Set-Cookie headers with real session values. This tool hides cookie values by default so copied output is safer to paste into a ticket, note, or chat message.

If the response contains private user data, tokens, or production values, replace them with safe examples before sharing the output with anyone else.
