Tool to monitor HTTP traffic

I have an application on my iPhone which sends out Http requests; is it possible to look into the HTTP stream using some tool??

I use standalone version of (IEInspector's) HttpAnalyzer tool on my windows PC to monitor HTTP traffic from all processes including the apps on Android phone (thanks to android debug bridge interface). Is there a similar tool for OS X that I can use for iPhone apps? Is this even allowed?

Thanks in advance.

Solution

  • I use Charles for HTTP monitoring. It can hook into the standard OS X proxy settings (as used by Safari) so it should work fine with the iPhone emulator in the SDK.
