View HTTP TrafficIf you need to view all the outgoing and incoming HTTP traffic between a web browser or any program that uses HTTP protocol and the Internet, then HTTP Debugger is the program for you.
What is HTTP Traffic?
The HTTP Traffic is all data sent and received by your computer via HTTP Protocol. The HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) is the foundation protocol of the World Wide Web. It sets the rules for exchanges between browser and web server. HTTP defines how messages are formatted and transmitted, and what actions Web servers and browsers should take in response to various commands. HTTP provides for the transfer of hypertext and hypermedia, for recognition of file types, and other functions.
That's why all Web site addresses begin with "http://". Whenever you type a URL into your browser and hit Enter, your computer sends an HTTP request to the appropriate Web server. The Web server, which is designed to handle HTTP requests, then sends to you the requested HTML page.
Who needs to view HTTP traffic?
Web Developers can significantly optimize their web site performance by analyzing the HTTP protocol traffic with HTTP Debugger. For each downloaded web page, image, flash movie, Java script, etc. the HTTP Debugger calculates its size and its download time. Developers can use this information to pinpoint large web pages and if it necessary divide them into smaller parts, and to find dynamic web pages (CGI, PHP, ASP, ASP.NET, Java, Perl, ColdFusion, Python, etc) that perform slowly and need optimizing for speed. Moreover, developers can simultaneously open the same web page in Internet Explorer, Mozilla FireFox and Opera and see the results of all these programs in one single HTTP Debugger window.
Software Developers can use HTTP Debugger 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 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.
