also wurl.io. It adds the capability to transform results and render views of the results.

this online service is very frequently either down or doesn't function properly (spam problems?). Thus, I've created an open source alternative to web-sniffer.net at WebSniffer.CC. Give it a try, it works exactly the same and will be constantly supported & improved, as I use it myself on a daily basis.
