Corey,

I have installed both tcpdump and ethereal, but if I read your message correctly, I don't need tcpdump because I am sending and receiving on the same server?

ethereal does not capture what I am looking for. Is that because i am sending and receiving on localhost and it is not accessing the eth0? Is there a way to have it catch that traffic?

Thanks,

-Al

I would like to grab the raw http input stream content coming into my server from various requests. Is there an easy way to do this? I would like to avoid socket programming if I can. The server is running ubuntu (breezy). I am comfortable with java and perl. I am generating the requests, so I can direct them to any port.

I would use tcpdump.

       # tcpdump -s 1500 -w port-80.dump -Unp port 80

I like to then wade through it using ethereal. Generally I don't use
ethereal for the capture since I'm often working on a remote server, but
can do live captures as well.
