How can PHP developers use browser tools to debug HTTP response headers when accessing external files?

PHP developers can use browser tools like Chrome Developer Tools or Firefox Developer Tools to debug HTTP response headers when accessing external files. By inspecting the Network tab in these tools, developers can view the headers returned by the server when making a request to an external file. This can help identify any issues with the headers being returned and troubleshoot accordingly. 

// Example code to make a request to an external file and inspect response headers
$externalFileUrl = 'https://www.example.com/external-file.txt';

$ch = curl_init($externalFileUrl);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$response = curl_exec($ch);

// Output response headers
$headers = curl_getinfo($ch);
print_r($headers);

// Close cURL session
curl_close($ch);
