You can take a .pcap capture from tcpdump or Wireshark and run it through chaosreader and extract all sorts of handy HTTP information. On top of that, it will also extract images and also generate a proxy style log of HTTP request along with a detailed list of HTTP requests and responses. Highly recommended!

Despite the name, I mean 'fiddler'? eewwww! Fiddler is a great tool performance testers should have at hand. There is also a HttpWatch equivalent for FireFox called HttpFox... However, I couldn't get those tools to easily filter out variables and show me where they occur. Which I guess is what I was initially trying to achieve. I just wanted a filtered watchpoint if you like, to show me when and where variables are occurring in the response body ...

However, I couldn’t get those tools to easily filter out variables and show me where they occur. Which I guess is what I was initially trying to achieve. I just wanted a filtered watchpoint if you like, to show me when and where variables are occurring in the response body …
