Anybody know of a browser that can do this?
Some features from old Mosaic could prove useful with the new crop... |

I was recently playing around with an old version of NCSA Mosaic version 3.0 under Windows, and found two neat right-click features that seem to have been forgotten... On the context-menu, we have: (1) "Document Header Information". Using this gives a summary of some of the page properties (but different from the properties reported by, for example, Ctrl+I in Mozilla). As well as modification date, It seems to actually query the server. As an example, webmasterworld returns
"Apache/1.3.26 (Unix) FrontPage/5.0.2.2510"
To my knowledge, there is no other straightforward way to obtain this information... I'd love to be proved wrong. (2) "Pixel Color". As expected, this launches a popup with the RGB hex codes for the point where you clicked... Very useful for webmasters, but I've not seen any new browser with this! Maybe it's there and I missed it? So assuming I haven't missed anything in Moz/Konq/Opera, is there any browser that has any of these features?

This is nice. I use a piece of freeware called Eyedropper for this, where the information isn't available with "view source", but it would be handy if my browser did it.

Yeah, give it a go and see for yourself: http://archive.ncsa.uiuc.edu/SDG/Software/Mosaic/NCSAMosaicHome.html It's only 2,936 KB!

http://livehttpheaders.mozdev.org/ for Mozilla is what you are looking for. This will give you two things:
1) an extra pane in [ctrl]i with the server header information for the page
2) a window under 'menu:Tools->Web Development->Live HTTP Headers' that will record an entire session - both what Mozilla sends to the server and the server response I'm finding this tool to be indispensable when debugging pages - especially when you are sending form data to the server or checking for the correct mime types

Actually, I just found out that the [url=http://www.OffByOne.com]Offbyone browser[/url] has a similar feature when you View Page Source. It has the above, and also "X-Powered-By: BestBBS v3.15" and some cache stuff as well... Pretty interesting.

Well, it's been on a wishlist at bugs.kde.org for over a month now, and not so much as a comment about it... Anybody who's registered at mozilla wanna add it for me?

Mozilla's DOM inspector lets you find the color of a part of a web page, and more. (Much much more).

Thanks... Iy looks like I'd overlooked a few things in Mozilla (even though Firebird is my default browser!). I'll have to go and check this out.
