Is it possible to pickup the whole https URI with a sniffer?


Is it possible to pickup the whole https URI with a sniffer?

IE.
https://domain.com/blah/memebers.php?id=39238

For example, Is there a way to get the sniffer to pick up id=39238?

I have been testing with wireshark, and it only seems to be picking up domain.com.

Any ideas?

No.

Wireshark must be picking up the domain from the DNS query or the reverse DNS of the IP address. The entire request include the host: header is encrypted with whatever length key has been configured for the https server.

If you want to sniff the traffic from inside the HTTPS connection, you will need to do a man in the middle attack or know the key.
