Network Reference

Network Reference brings together 5 free tools with no sign-up for technical lookups. Port references identifies the main TCP and UDP ports, HTTP status codes gives the meaning of a status, and MIME Types helps find the type linked to an extension. User-Agent analyzer details the browser, engine and platform, while URL Solver rebuilds a relative URL against a base. These aids suit developers and support teams.

Pick based on the value you need to decode. For a port number, start with Port references. For a status returned by a page, use HTTP status codes. An unknown file extension is checked with MIME Types. If you are analyzing a request, User-Agent analyzer identifies the client, and URL Solver handles relative addresses. These tools often act as quick reminders during integration or troubleshooting.

How to use

  1. For an unknown port number, start with Port references and check the matching common service before concluding.
  2. For a status returned by a page, open HTTP status codes and read the response family before looking for the cause.
  3. If a file extension is unclear, use MIME Types, then User-Agent analyzer to identify the client making the request.
  4. For a relative address, finish with URL Solver to see how the link is rebuilt from the base.

Frequently asked questions

When should I use Port references?

Use it when you come across a port number and want to know which common service it matches. It covers the main TCP and UDP ports. This is helpful for reading a configuration, a log or an error message.

What is URL Solver for?

It resolves a relative URL against a base, which helps you understand how a link is rebuilt. Developers use it during integrations, tests or code reading. The tool is free, requires no sign-up and runs in the browser.

In what order should I read a web request?

Start with HTTP status codes to place the response, then User-Agent analyzer to identify the client. If the request contains a relative URL, URL Solver helps rebuild it. MIME Types and Port references complete the technical reading.

Is MIME Types useful for uploaded files?

It finds the MIME type of a common extension, which helps understand how a file is announced. It does not replace User-Agent analyzer or HTTP status codes, but it completes a web exchange check.
