I'm running Windows Vista home premium. I want to see all outgoing HTTP requests from my PC along with the URL. Is there any free tool for this?

The first answer below from @Mikey is correct, if your need for "http requests" is accurate. Do you want to see the content of each request, or do you just want to monitor web usage? – Paul Nov 14 '11 at 7:36
Request URL is enough but response content is better to have. – Moe Sweet Nov 14 '11 at 7:41

wireshark is the absolute best for monitoring – Fergus Nov 14 '11 at 21:30

You could use the command prompt by typing the command netstat /f. This will show you a list of the connections to your local interface. The /f tells the command to resolve the external ip addresses as well.
