Tracking/Recording Redirects

[r3p1v]

Are there any tools or browser plugins where if you give it a URL it will show all the URLs it redirects through until it reaches the destination?

I'm wondering because it is kind of hard to determine if an offer on a network is just being brokered through another network or not.

Also, when checking out someone else's lander, it is sometimes difficult to determine what network/offer they are using.

In firefox, click Ctrl + Shift + H, clear history then click any link you want. All in real time.

There's the Live HTTP Headers add-on for firefox and there's also Link Hopper, free software from Matt Harward that's nice and simple.

HTTP Watch is great, also (available for Firefox and IE only).

I use the HTTPFox extension for Firefox - works great. Shows redirects, cookies, query variables, post variables, and content of each page/file (including js & css files).

link hopper is better than http headers if you're checking many redirects. it is especially useful if you're using it to build a database/doc/file of ad creatives :1bluewinky: because you get the redirects only and not all the other shit that http headers gives you.
