Does 'view document source' on this page show anything?

At the command line ('$' was meant to be a shell prompt)
If you really want to see what your webserver is doing, then you bypass the
web client and drive it directly; HTTP is a text protocol after all, easy
for humans to write and read.
For normal HTTP, you telnet to port 80. For HTTPS, you use s_client to set
up an encrypted connection to port 443.
