Use any packet sniffer - the HTTP commands are in plain text. See
1945 Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.0. T. Berners-Lee, R.
Fielding, H. Frystyk. May 1996. (Format: TXT=137582 bytes) (Status:
INFORMATIONAL)
2616 Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1. R. Fielding, J. Gettys,
J. Mogul, H. Frystyk, L. Masinter, P. Leach, T. Berners-Lee. June
1999. (Format: TXT=422317, PS=5529857, PDF=550558 bytes) (Obsoletes
RFC2068) (Updated by RFC2817) (Status: DRAFT STANDARD)
You can use any search engine to find copies of those RFCs.

Read the commands and data. It's in text, not pictures.

Read the commands and see what is being requested, what is the response,
and what the web page is trying to display. If you don't understand
this, you are going to have a very hard time debugging the connection.
