what can i use to capture html requests and responses, ethereal seems to only show the request headers, i'd like to be able to view the html body as well.

Do a google search on "packed sniffer" and "network protocol analyser" and see what turns up.

let me describe my problem a little more. i have an agent on a server that issues xml commands using http to perform single sign on. I want to know what the body of these requests are and their responses to debug an issue i am having. I was hoping to pop a hub and laptop with ethereal to monitor the requests but it seems to only do the headers and not the body. what tool can i use to view/capture the body of the requests?

let's avoid the games. If you know have a tool in mind, just give it and not a 'search for "packed sniffer" '.
