When developing web apps, I sometimes have a need to see the traffic that floats between my browser and various web servers. Since I'm mostly developing in FireFox, I've been using the excellent web debugging tool Firebug for this up until lately, but since it can only see what the browser can see, this solution has left me wanting some times.
HTTPScoop solves this problem nicely for me. You can select what interface to listen to, it gets traffic from any browser, and you have a really nice packet inspection tool, that lets you see all the details about the request and response.
