HTTP.zip contains a HTTP Monitor Server PHP script. Install under PHP on a webserver that has the sockets extension enabled, and invoke monitorServer.php from your browser. This sets up a very crude monitoring server on port 8088 of your system. You can either direct your second browser window to http://localhost:8088 (to see a simple GET request) or open the files postForm.html or postFormWithFileUpload.html in your for POST uploads to the server.

For Windows users, there are two applications, tcpTrace.exe and proxyTrace.exe that are also used in COMPSCI335. tcpTrace.exe and proxyTrace.exe do largely the same thing - they show you how the HTTP communication between server and client works. tcpTrace.exe is configured to listen on a port on your machine, e.g., 8080. It forwards all connections on this port almost transparently to a destination server you nominate (e.g., port 80 on www.cs.auckland.ac.nz). On the left pane, you'll see an entry for each TCP/IP connection made when you point your browser at http://localhost:8080 by entry into the address bar or via an action attribute on a form. Click on a connection, and the top right hand window shows the HTTP requests (outgoing traffic) sent via that connection. The bottom right window shows the HTTP responses received on the respective connection. proxyTrace.exe works in a similar way to tcpTrace.exe, except that it mimicks a proxy server (so you can configure it as a proxy server in your Internet Options).
