If you don't get any direct answer to this you could always run Fiddler on a windows machine and configure your browser on the Mac to use the windows machine as a proxy server. Not very satisfactory and requires a second machine (although it could be virtual).

There's the more general but perhaps not as helpful to you Wireshark.

One of the SO server sites might be better suited for your question. In fact, it's already been asked on SuperUser.

Thanks for the answer i've found in superUser that the monst similar it's Charles (http://www.charlesproxy.com/) but it's not free.I will try with Wireshark.

Wireshark is a little advanced to install... is there an easier to get up and running Mac Fiddler?

@Leon: not that hasn't already been mentioned. You could go for the Firefox+LiveHTTPHeaders. HttpFox might also be useful. As for installing Wireshark, it's as easy as installing anything on a Mac: you just download the DMG from the Wireshark site, open it, and drag the app to your Applications folder.

Hey thanks I'll check out that LiveHTTP... I did install Wireshark as you said, but the configuration is the advanced part. I don't mess with terminal and can't find any of the specific folders they talk about on my Mac :(

I've already have httpClient but it makes you build the requests instead of capturing the ones from the apps.

Charles is written in Java and runs on Macs. It's not free though.

You can point your Mac at your Windows+Fiddler machine: http://www.fiddler2.com/fiddler/help/hookup.asp#Q-NonWindows

WebScarab is a framework for analysing applications that communicate using the HTTP and HTTPS protocols. It is written in Java, and is thus portable to many platforms. WebScarab has several modes of operation, implemented by a number of plugins. In its most common usage, WebScarab operates as an intercepting proxy, allowing the operator to review and modify requests created by the browser before they are sent to the server, and to review and modify responses returned from the server before they are received by the browser. WebScarab is able to intercept both HTTP and HTTPS communication. The operator can also review the conversations (requests and responses) that have passed through WebScarab.
