Firefox plugin or way to monitor ALL request data, including headers and content downloaded to browser

I am having problems getting ALL of the information that is downloaded to a browser. For example, I want a plugin, ideally a firefox plugin to download the HTML content and monitor when I get a 302 redirect, and all header information.

So far, use Live HTTP Headers and Firebug. Both are fine.

With Live HTTP headers, I can't monitor the data that is downloaded (e.g. the html data) Firebug is worse, because I can't monitor the headers and I can't monitor the full requests. For example, Firebug won't show you all of the content that is downloaded, just the last set of requests. E.g. redirects will clear the Firebug net monitoring.

I am on win32

How do I see POST requests in Firefox?

Show activity on this post. Alternatively, in the console (Ctrl+Shift+K or Command+Option+K) right click on the big pane and check "Log Request and Response Bodies". Then when the form is submitted, a line with POST <url> will appear. Click on it; it will open a new window with the form data.

Try Tamper data firefox add-on, an extension to track and modify http/https requests.

You can find a nice tutorial here.

Firebug + Tamper Data is the best couple of firefox tools I cannot live without.

I could find all requests with all info and redirects without installing anything. Check Web Console in Tools -> Web Developer.
