I also recommend a freeware Java program called NetTool
(www.nettool.org) which does a similar thing. Basically it puts up two
windows; the one on the left shows requests and the right shows
responses. I've used both this and the internal curl debug stuff and
they both work great but NetTool is generally quicker to set up and
easier for tracking long transactions.

This is the "TCP Tunnel" subfeature of NetTool BTW, not the "HTTP Client".
