# get-headers [](https://godoc.org/github.com/carlmjohnson/get-headers) [](https://goreportcard.com/report/github.com/carlmjohnson/get-headers)
Simple tool to show the headers from GET-ing a URL
The problem this solves is that when you use `curl -I` it does a `HEAD` request, potentially changing the result, and when you do `curl -i` it also dumps the page HTML on you. This does a `GET` and returns those results—including any doubled headers. It also (optionally) downloads the body of the page and returns speed and timing information.
## Installation
First install [Go](http://golang.org).
If you just want to install the binary to your current directory and don't care about the source code, run
```bash
GOBIN=$(pwd) go install github.com/carlmjohnson/get-headers@latest
```
