About

Fast and simple way to check any HTTP Headers

Usage

Command line

Using Node.js's npx to run a one-off scan of a website:

npx check-my-headers https://example.com 

The CLI will gracefully handle cases where the URL to scan is missing or wrong:

$ npx check-my-headers
👋  Welcome to check-my-headers@0.1.0
😬  Missing argument URL!
👉  Example: check-my-headers https://github.com/ulisesgascon/check-my-headers

Module

Using check-my-headers in your project.

const checkMyHeaders = require('check-my-headers')

checkMyHeaders("http://example.com")
.then(({ messages, headers, status }) => {
    console.log(`Status code: ${status}`)
    console.log(`Messages:`)
    console.log(messages)
    console.log("Current headers:")
    console.log(headers)
})

Output:

Status code: 200
