    tshark is the command line version of wireshare. Because I do this a lot, here is an example of syntax. tshark -f "dst port 80" -R "http.request" -w request

    This will capture all http requests on port 80 and save them to file ./request
    The request that you are having problems with should be different, because if two browsers are generating the same request to a server, then they should receive the same result. (unless this is a contrived example)

    You can run the test with IE to see the request it generates using IES4Linux (as a side note you can do some awesome stuff by exporting to PDML or libpcap and parsing with perl)

      thanks so much - this looks very helpful (and a bit complex)...it'll probably take me a couple of days to get around to all this, but i appreciate the pointers.

      some of this is way over my head, but i look forward to learning, and exploring (or exploding!)
