How to Audit Response Headers with Claude

Audit HTTP response headers with Claude and ToolRouter. Full header security analysis.

Claude turns HTTP service probing into a thorough, conversational security review that connects each finding to its broader implications. Ask Claude to check security headers, discover hidden services, verify SSL configurations, and enumerate subdomains while explaining the risk and remediation for every issue found. Its chaining capability lets you start with a broad reconnaissance and progressively drill into specific areas of concern.

Steps

Once connected (see setup above), use the Security HTTPx tool:

Ask Claude: "Audit all HTTP response headers on my hosts using security-httpx" and provide the URLs
Claude analyzes every response header and flags issues
Review findings covering security headers, information leakage, and misconfigurations
Fix header configurations based on the recommendations

Example Prompt

Try this with Claude using the Security HTTPx tool

Audit all HTTP response headers on myapp.com and api.myapp.com. Look for missing security headers, information leakage, caching issues, and any other header concerns.

Tips

Ask Claude to check headers on different URL paths -- login pages need different cache headers than static assets
Review custom X- headers for information that should not be exposed publicly
Check that error responses do not have different (weaker) header configurations
