01
Understand the Mac before testing the target
Review active interfaces, IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, the default gateway, and DNS resolvers in the same workspace that runs target-specific checks.
Connection InspectorMac Workflows
Diagnose a target across interfaces, HTTP, TLS, DNS, ping, trace, and ports.
Connection Inspector keeps the checks used to explain a failing endpoint in one read-only workspace. Start with the Mac's interfaces, gateway, and resolvers, then run DNS, ping, traceroute, HTTP header, TLS certificate, or common-port checks against a host you control.

This tool is a local inspection and workflow utility for files, settings, and development tasks you control. It reviews selected local information only; Foldout does not connect to other machines, manage accounts, monitor networks, or provide a live service. Use Foldout only with files, content, hosts, tokens, systems, or accounts you own or are authorized to inspect or process.
What it does
Move from local network context to a focused target diagnosis without assembling terminal commands by hand.
Review active interfaces, gateway, and DNS resolvers together.
Resolve DNS records and run ping or traceroute checks.
Inspect HTTP status, redirect history, method, and response headers.
Review certificate subject, issuer, validity, SANs, and SHA-256 fingerprint.
Probe common service ports or the explicit port in a host:port target.
Context to root cause
Keep local network context, protocol evidence, and certificate identity together.
Documentation-safe Overview, HTTP, and TLS states demonstrate a complete diagnosis without contacting a live marketing target.
02
Inspect the response without downloading the page
Run a focused HEAD request, confirm the status and method, then read and copy cache, content type, HSTS, server, and request headers line by line.
03
Catch certificate expiry and hostname mistakes early
Keep subject, issuer, validity dates, alternative names, and the SHA-256 fingerprint attached to the exact HTTPS target under review.
Why it belongs
Why Connection Inspector earns a place in the toolbox.
The practical details that make this job faster, clearer, or safer than doing it by hand.
The diagnosis starts with context
Local interfaces, the default route, and resolvers explain the Mac's side of the connection before a remote target is blamed.
HTTP evidence stays structured
Status, method, redirects, and headers remain readable and individually copyable instead of disappearing into raw command output.
Certificate review is complete
Validity, names, issuer, and fingerprint stay attached to the exact HTTPS target being checked.
How to use it
