HTTPolice

HTTPolice is a validator or “linter” for HTTP requests and responses. It can spot bad header syntax, inappropriate status codes, and other potential problems in your HTTP server or client.

See example report__.

__ https://httpolice.readthedocs.io/page/showcase.html

As a command-line tool, it can read HAR files__ or raw HTTP/1.x TCP streams. It can integrate with mitmproxy__ for TLS-encrypted and HTTP/2 traffic. Or you can use it as a Python (3.4+) library. There is a Django integration__ package and a third-party Chrome extension__.

HTTPolice was partly inspired by REDbot__, another QA tool for the Web. But the approach is different: instead of actively testing your server, HTTPolice just analyzes anything you feed into it. Thus, it can be used on requests and responses captured from a real process or test suite.
