This page is intended to let you debug the use of a URL, by letting you compose your own request (including optional "POST" data), and by letting you see the header part of the result (e.g. to see the server version, or auxiliary fields such as expiry time). The request is sent using the "POST" method if the post data is non-empty, and otherwise it uses the "GET" method. Only the first 10000 bytes of the result are displayed. All uses of this page are logged.

The URL should be fully qualified (it can start with the host name or with "http://"). It will be fetched by a program running on birrell.org. The program does not encode the URL or post data; you should make it be x-www-form-urlencoded yourself if needed.
