What is the HTTP Sniffer?The HTTP Debugger is an HTTP Protocol Sniffer (or HTTP Sniffer in short); a software program that intercepts all HTTP traffic between your computer and the web server. The HTTP Sniffer captures each HTTP packet and eventually decodes and analyzes its content according to the HTTP RFC specification.
HTTP Sniffer Uses
Web Developers can use the HTTP Sniffer to significantly optimize their web sites performance, by analyzing the results provided by the program. For each downloaded web page, image, flash movie, Java script, etc. it calculates its size and its download time giving developers the ability to pinpoint large web pages and if it necessary divide them into smaller parts, and to analyze the speed of the dynamic web pages (CGI, PHP, ASP, ASP.NET, Java, Perl, ColdFusion, Python, etc).
Software Developers can use the HTTP Sniffer to view and analyze the HTTP traffic of their own software programs and debug client/server communications between their programs and the web server, irrespective of whether it is a user mode program or works as a Windows NT Service. Having this information in real-time developers can quickly locate and fix problems in their software.
Network and System Administrators can use the HTTP Sniffer to view the information sent by programs to their owners and measure the security risks in order to understand and circumvent security measures, for the purposes of penetration testing or revealing of illegal activities. They can find out what programs overuse the Internet traffic.
