Works for HTML pages

Although its an HTTP sniffing client it doesnt work very well with binary files. The load on the mac shoots up such that it becomes unresponsive. A Force-Quit is needed to get the mac back to sanity.

I suspect that the program is trying to render the (large) binary file in its window. The reason why I bought this application is that I think that my content type headers are not set correctly so I wanted a quick way to see the type and hence figure out my multi-media file was not working in the browser. The irony is that the tool to display the header is getting confused by the content that the header is meant to describe. I worked aroudn this by creating a short text file with the multi-media file extension to see the headers. It would have been nice if there was an option to not attempt to render the content and just show the headers.
