Situatie
HTTP headers can reveal useful information about how a web server is configured. Instead of checking every header manually, AI can help identify potentially weak or missing security settings.
Solutie
Step 1 – Retrieve the Headers
Use curl to request only the HTTP headers:
curl -I https://example.comCopy the returned headers.
Step 2 – Ask AI for a Security Review
Use a prompt like:
Review these HTTP response headers for security issues. Identify missing or weak security headers and explain their purpose.
Step 3 – Review the Findings
The AI may identify headers such as:
- Content-Security-Policy
- Strict-Transport-Security
- X-Content-Type-Options
- Referrer-Policy
It can also explain why each header matters.
Step 4 – Verify the Results
Use the AI’s suggestions as a starting point, then manually verify the configuration and test the application. This is a quick way to turn a simple header check into a more useful security review.
