Is it possible to use Wireshark to see what URL and what params are being requested by my computer?

Something like:

www.foobar.com/someendpoint/bazboo

Does Wireshark offer this information in its package capture information?

I downloaded Fiddler2, but it did not show any new request being made while I interacted with this application in question. I'm sure it's doing online requests and not loading data from local cache.

Would Wireshark show me this URL being invoked?

    Put simply. Yes.

  • The URLs would appear in the data of unencrypted DNS requests. You would have to correlate the IP addresses returned for those requests. It's possible the app is using hard-coded IP addresses, in which case there would not necessarily be any URLs used.

Absolutely. Wireshark will show ALL network traffic over a network including URLs, unencrypted passwords, etc.

    Unless the connection is secured, in which case Wireshark can only show the raw TCP packets. Apr 19, 2012 at 1:05

    It's not a duplicate of that question, the other question was vague. This question specifically asks about Wireshark.
