Common errors

Only headers are pasted without a status line

Fix: That is still fine. The tool can return the lines it recognizes as the header block.

The raw text uses unusual formatting with no blank line before the body

Fix: Use a normally formatted raw response if you want clean separation.

The user expects a live fetch from a URL

Fix: This tool extracts from pasted raw response text, not from a live network request.
