HttpWatch integrates with Internet Explorer to provide unrivalled levels of HTTP monitoring without the need for separately configured proxies or network sniffers.

Simply interact with a web site and HttpWatch will display a log of requests and responses alongside the web page itself.

HttpWatch can even show interactions between IE and the browser cache.

Here are some key features of "HttpWatch":

· HttpWatch captures and displays the following HTTP related data: URLs being accessed, HTTP method, e.g. GET, POST, etc..., Mime type of response, e.g. text/html image/gif, Time taken to complete a request, Size of downloaded page, image or file, HTTP status codes or error codes if the request failed, Cookies sent and received, Headers sent and received, Parameters sent in a query strings and POSTs, Network operations required, such as DNS lookup or socket connects, Whether the content was read from the browser cache or downloaded from the HTTP server
· Secure, encrypted browser sessions that use the HTTPS protocol can be logged to the same level of detail as HTTP. This feature is particularly useful when testing production systems that rely on SSL encryption.
· HttpWatch shows the interaction between Internet Explorer and the browser cache, not just network traffic between the browser and the web site. This is an important feature when a web site is being tuned for performance or to determine why pages are not updating correctly.
· HttpWatch logs and displays all the intermediate responses caused by the use of techniques such as redirection, authentication and 1xx responses.
· HttpWatch displays the raw HTTP streams sent to and received from a web site. This low level view of the HTTP protocol helps to show the effect of using technologies such as chunked encoding or compression, and can be useful if you want to reproduce a request programmatically.
· HttpWatch works with systems that have HTTP compression enabled, displaying the expanded content and providing information about the compression savings achieved.
· Text and image based content can be viewed and exported from HttpWatch. This allows easy access to resources such as javascript, style sheets, plug-ins and images.
· HttpWatch supports filtering of requests by wide variety of criteria such as content types, response codes, URLs, headers and content.
