I have an application under test that is not using any web browser as a client. Anyhow our custom made client communicates with application server tier via Apache/Tomcat. I found very difficult to use \[http://www.badboy.com.au/ Badboy\] to see what's going on from the Client tier perspective. 

So, I was searching for some tool that captures HTTP communication "from outside" and I found lately a little tool that is just perfect for what I needed. It shows outgoing HTTP requests and incoming HTTP responses and can help you analyze them.

Note: I am not connected to nor asked to do any advertisement for Effe_Tech. I just did not find any remark about it in JMeter mailing list archive and I am sure that there are people who can benefit out of using something like this little tool. Take it as I am just giving something useful back to the JMeter community.

Axis TCPMON - TCP monitor tool from Apache Axis

The Apache Axis Web Services project includes a TCP Monitoring utility which is intended for monitoring SOAP requests, but it works just as well for plain HTTP requests.
