HTTP Status + Redirect Chain Parser

Parse status lines and redirect hops from raw headers and curl output.

HTTP Status + Redirect Chain Parser

Parse pasted response headers or curl output to inspect redirect hops and final response.

Headers / curl output

Redirect hops (3)

Hop 1: 301

Location: https://www.brandarmor.ai/features

Hop 2: 302

Location: https://brandarmor.ai/features

Hop 3: 200

Location: (none)

How it works

HTTP Status + Redirect Chain Parser: methodology and worked example

How this tool computes its result

Parses multi-line input matching the regex `^HTTP/[0-9.]+s+(d{3})(?:s+(.*))?$` to extract HTTP status codes and reason phrases. After each status line, subsequent lines matching `KEY: VALUE` format are captured as headers. The Location header (case-insensitive match) is extracted separately. Hops are numbered in order; each hop object stores status, reason, location (if present), and a headers dict. Warnings fire if no status lines are found, or if any redirect status (300-399) lacks a Location header.

Worked example

Pasting curl -I -L output with "HTTP/2 301", "location: https://example.com/new", "HTTP/2 200", "content-type: text/html": the tool parses two hops - hop 1 is status 301 with location "https://example.com/new," hop 2 is status 200 with no location. Output lists both hops and warns if hop 1 lacked a location.

When not to use this tool

This parses text headers pasted manually or from curl output - it does not make live HTTP requests to trace a real redirect chain from the network; to capture an actual chain, run `curl -I -L https://example.com` and paste the output into this tool.

Common mistakes

- Pasting a status line like "HTTP/1.1 301" followed by no header lines and then another status - the tool still parses correctly, but it will warn if the 301 hop has no Location header, which is probably an error in the data you pasted.
- Assuming all headers between status lines belong to that status hop - headers are tied to the most recent status line above them; if you paste headers out of order or skip a status line, headers may be assigned to the wrong hop.
- Expecting "HTTP/2" and "HTTP/1.1" to be treated as separate protocol versions - the parser just extracts the numeric status code and ignores the version prefix, so the redirect chain logic is identical regardless of protocol.
