I'd like to monitor HTTP traffic to/from my PC so I can watch web services interaction. (SOAP and RESTful services) There seems to be a lot of different software out there for this. What do you all recommend?

+4  A: 

I would reccomend WIRESHARK. It's really great. And multiplatform!

It is definitely a great tool. For this purpose however, it might be too low-level.

True, but it also has HIGH LEVEL filter and output options that might help. :-)

I recommend Http Analyzer. For http it's much nicer than wireshark.

I suggest Membrane Monitor. It features a XML formatter and it works with new SOAP Toolkits like Axis2, CXF or JAX-WS that use HTTP keep alive.
