Is there a way that I can have iftop (or some other command) run on my mac (linux also is okay) which will display the exact

  • http requests which are being made, including
  • the parameters being sent

Currently, iftop gives me results like this:

And similarly, wireshark gives me alot of information, but none of the http parameters that i need to see:

You can use wireshark, a proxy like tinyproxy or squid or a debugging tool in a browser, chrome has it integrated, Firefox might have it also or it as a plugin called live http header.

Wireshark gets all packets it can even get request from other computers on the same network. You can use filters like http.request.method == "GET" or http.request.method == "POST" It gets the information by packet, a request could be longer than a packet, but not likely to happen. You can also ask on https://ask.wireshark.org. you could also use another packet sniffer like tcp dump.

To get all request from your computer with a proxie you will most likely have to configure it transparent and log all requests.

Debugging tools in browsers get only requests from one page, at least in chrome.
