Monitor HTTP requests made by IE8

Question

I thought developer tools could do this but I'm struggling to find it. Any other recommendations?

Wireshark is a little too "in-deep" for my requirements. Fiddler looks good though. — spender, Aug 04 '10 at 11:33
IE9 developer tools do it, not 8. Use fiddler (http) or wireshark (tcp/ip). — i_am_jorf, Aug 04 '10 at 15:40

Fiddler is the best tool. Depending on needs you can use network sniffer as well, like Wireshark or Microsoft Network Monitor.

I have had success with HTTP Watch Basic. I have tried Fiddler and wireshark. They are great tools, assuming you have the permission to use them in a corporate environment. Typically, the corporate security team will not allow them to be installed (at least in my situation). I have had success with HTTP Watch Basic when debugging SAML issues for single-sign-on. HTTP Watch basic seems to be the the primary option to use for IE8.
