HTTP Sniffer Recommendations?
-
I'm looking foir a good HTTP Sniffer, but am not having much luck finding one that fits the bill for me. Here's my wishlist: 1) Finds/ allows me to select my net connection (which is a cell phone via IR) - EffeTech's sniffer can't do it. 2) Captures POSTed data - many sniffers I found just won't show you what you're posting. 3) Does not operate as a proxy - it's no good to me at all if I need to set proxy settings for it. 4) Probably impossible - captures HTTPS traffic without having to configure it as a proxy server(Stephen Toub's HTTPS proxy is great, but if an app requests via HTTPS it expects HTTPS back) Any recommandations?

I've been using WinDump[^] over the last couple of weeks to sniff network traffic. It's a bit lower-level than you need (TCP/IP) but I wrote a quick Python script to parse the packets and reassemble the HTTP requests.

Thanks for the recommendation, but unfortunately anything that uses the WinPcap library simply won't work with my connection. running WinDump with the -D switch reveals that it cannot find any adaptors on my system at all :(
Bummer. I've also been using Ethereal[^] which is great but also uses WinPcap. BTW, are you still in Thailand? Much work out there? I used to live up in Chiang Mai and would love to move back out to the LOS again for a while.

I've now downloaded 17 different apps, none of which suit my requirements. I have found 3 capturers that will succesfully grab incoming packets, but none that will capture my outgoing packets - Looks like I'm out of luck unless I do it myself :( On the other subject, yes I'm still in Thailand, in Chiangmai as a matter of fact. As for work, I really wouldn't know because I don't work for a Thai Co, and didn't bother looking into it any further after seeing the salaries on offer in the Bangkok Post. I plan to meet up with another CPian here in CNX in the next few days (Bill) - I will see if he knows of any work opps. If you make your way back we'll have to catch up and have a beer!

I used to work with Took at the Brasserie (say hi next time you're down there :-)), Cottage as well as a few hotels around town. I'm trying to set up a new business now and hopefully, if it takes off, I'll be able to move operations to CNX and base myself there. Awasu by day, play music at night, EXCELLENT!

Hi Furty, Where can I find Stephen Toubs Proxy that supports HTTPS ? I've searched on Google and cant find it. Thanks, John
