To view Python's HTTP responses in a web browser we can save the contents to a temporary file and open it in the default web browser using Python's `webbrowser` module:

python```python
import webbrowser
from tempfile import NamedTemporaryFile

# this can work with any response object of any http client like:
import requests
import httpx

def view_in_browser(response):
    """open httpx or requests Response object in default browser"""
    # first - save content to a temporary file:
    with NamedTemporaryFile("wb", delete=False, suffix=".html") as file:
        file.write(response.content)
    # open temporary file in a new browser tab as a web page
    webbrowser.open_new_tab(f"file://{file.name}")
    # - or new window
    # webbrowser.open_new(f"file://{file.name}")
    # - or current active tab
    # webbrowser.open(f"file://{file.name}")

# example use:
response = requests.get("http://scrapfly.io/")
response = httpx.get("http://scrapfly.io/")  
view_in_browser(response)
```



This is a great tool for developing web scrapers as it allows to easily visualize and debug the scraper process as well as to use the browser's developer tools.
