Internet Explorer used to let you do this, but now it looks like we can do it again with Google Chrome...
Just type: view-source: before any full URL.
view-source:http://cs1.cs.nyu.edu/hubert/index.html

Okay...I guess it works with FF too. |
Here's another one that I use frequently: view-cache:http://URL
This shows you the cached version of the URL (which you need to have accessed beforehand) – including the full server HTTP headers. It's also fairly trivial to see whether or not the URL is gzip-encoded (which uses less bandwidth).
For me, changing the URL to add "view-cache:" (or "view-source:" – hey, it has line numbers too!) is faster than re-trying it with live-http-headers or wget/curl :)

Ah, so much for automatic URL recognition :-)
Make sure you use http : / / in the URL and do not leave a space between "view-cache" or "view-source:" and the URL.
