How can I determine page status from my browser?

301s, 302s and 404s

when i move a page, i 301 it to the new destination. if i enter the old url into my browser (either ff or ie), i get nicely redirected to the new correct url.

of course i can look at my server logs and track 301s and 404s etc.

but how can i tell from my browser? is there any way to tell if i just got 301'd or 302'd?

If you use Firefox the Live HTTP Headers extensions gives tons of information. To be sure to get accurate info, clear the browser cache before testing.

No problem :)

I use that one a lot. Two other great extensions you might like are Web Developer Toolbar and Firebug.

I can't even say how much those 3 have helped me!
