Url sniffer for Mac?

[ereedtz]

Hey
Do anyone know of an "ulr sniffer" like "project url snopper" for the Mac?

I need it for downloading streaming media where the url is hidden behind some java-stuff.

I don't know if it will help put this trick help me download *.flv file. In Safari, when in the page that is streaming the video, go to the Window menu and select "Activity". Press the option key on the keyboard and double click on the link you want to download (if it's a file).

choose any of the links, and the newsprogram will start in a new window.

I Windows with 'project url snooper' I found the url to the videofile (something like: http://WMSC.dr.dk/storage/Auto/ODPNyheder/tva/tva210020061114.wmv?WMContentBitrate=102...0&MSWMExt=.asf
- this link is for another days show, so ulr is not exact.)

Those videos are streaming Windows Media Files. They play using the Quictime Plug in with the Flip4Mac WMV Web Plug in. If you have Quicktime Pro, just click on the triangle at the bottom right of the video window and choose "Save as source". Name the file as you wich. This is a simple text file. If you open it with TextEdit, you will have the url in clear text. I don't know what tool you are using to download the stream but I know of only one with wich I got some success. It is call ASFRecorderX. Not very user friendly. Here is a link to that tool: http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/21171
