For every HTTP request, the following information is displayed: Host Name, HTTP method (GET, POST, HEAD), URL Path, User Agent, Response Code, Response String, Content Type, Referer, Content Encoding, Transfer Encoding, Server Name, Content Length, Cookie String, and more...

You can easily select one or more HTTP information lines, and then export them to text/html/xml/csv file or copy them to the clipboard and then paste them into Excel.

System Requirements:

  • This utility works on any version of Windows, starting from Windows 2000 and up to Windows 7, including 64-bit systems.
  • One of the following capture drivers is required to use HTTPNetworkSniffer:
    • WinPcap Capture Driver: WinPcap is an open source capture driver that allows you to capture network packets on any version of Windows. You can download and install the WinPcap driver from this Web page.
    • Microsoft Network Monitor Driver version 2.x (Only for Windows 2000/XP/2003): Microsoft provides a free capture driver under Windows 2000/XP/2003 that can be used by HTTPNetworkSniffer, but this driver is not installed by default, and you have to manually install it, by using one of the following options:
      • Option 1: Install it from the CD-ROM of Windows 2000/XP according to the instructions in Microsoft Web site
      • Option 2 (XP Only) : Download and install the Windows XP Service Pack 2 Support Tools. One of the tools in this package is netcap.exe. When you run this tool in the first time, the Network Monitor Driver will automatically be installed on your system.
    • Microsoft Network Monitor Driver version 3.x: Microsoft provides a new version of Microsoft Network Monitor driver (3.x) that is also supported under Windows 7/Vista/2008.
    • The new version of Microsoft Network Monitor (3.x) is available to download from Microsoft Web site.
  • You can also try to use HTTPNetworkSniffer without installing any driver, by using the 'Raw Sockets' method. Unfortunately, Raw Sockets method has many problems:
    • It doesn't work in all Windows systems, depending on Windows version, service pack, and the updates installed on your system.
    • On Windows 7 with UAC turned on, 'Raw Sockets' method only works when you run HTTPNetworkSniffer with 'Run As Administrator'.

What's New:

  • Added 'Response Time' column, which calculates and displays the time (in milliseconds) passed between the moment that the client sent the HTTP request and the moment that the HTTP server response received by the client.
  • To get more accurate result on this column, it's recommended to use the WinPcap driver or the Microsoft Network Monitor driver (version 3.4 or later) to capture the packets.
