What are HTTP Headers?

HTTP headers are key-value pairs sent by the server in its response. They indicate content type, caching rules, security protections (HSTS, CSP, X-Frame-Options) and more. Essential for auditing any web infrastructure.

Header Categories

Security

HSTS, CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy.

Cache

Cache-Control, ETag, Expires, Last-Modified, Pragma.

Content

Content-Type, Content-Length, Content-Encoding, Content-Language.

Server

Server, X-Powered-By, Via, Age, Date.

Redirect

Location, Refresh — used during 301/302 redirects.

  • CSPContent-Security-Policy restricts script sources to prevent XSS attacks.
  • X-FrameX-Frame-Options prevents iframe embedding (clickjacking protection).
  • X-CTOX-Content-Type-Options prevents browser MIME type sniffing.
