Hmm, I guess that means there's no logging built-in? 

 I checked the FAQs & the "Advanced Usage" on the website but there's
nothing there about logging, which surprises me a little, as I'd hoped that
things would have moved on since I was last looking a few years ago!

My problem with Wireshark is that I need to do this on a customer's remote
Solaris system, to which I have command-line user-level SSH access but it's
just not practical to install that sort of app there, let alone try & build
it...

Using the Commons HttpClient I can switch on 'wire' logging, but that gives
me this sort of logging:

2007/05/31 22:18:09:638 GMT+07:00 [DEBUG] content - >> "<"
2007/05/31 22:18:09:639 GMT+07:00 [DEBUG] content - >> "?"
2007/05/31 22:18:09:641 GMT+07:00 [DEBUG] content - >> "x"
2007/05/31 22:18:09:642 GMT+07:00 [DEBUG] content - >> "m"
2007/05/31 22:18:09:643 GMT+07:00 [DEBUG] content - >> "l"
2007/05/31 22:18:09:644 GMT+07:00 [DEBUG] content - >> " "

I can pick out the info needed, but it would be nice to have something a
/little/ less verbose...

Solaris has a builtin packet tracer in the style of tcpdump. I do not
remember the name exactly, maybe "snoop"? I typically use snoop to
create a packet trace and Wireshark to analyze the trace.

Apart from that, I agree that the ability to log input and output
would be a valuable addition. Patches welcome.
