HTTP Spy

 

Welcome

                HTTP Spy displays all HTTP information as Internet Explorer downloads web pages and images. It allows you to view headers, cookies and other useful information easily, without having to setup a custom proxy server. Unlike other standard network monitors, HTTP Spy can also show requests made using secure connection (SSL).

HTTP Spy integrates with Internet Explorer as an explorer band, without any need to use an external application.


Comparison

                Since there are other similar products, here is a brief comparison between HTTP Spy and Ethereal - a popular protocol analyzer.
