Is there an open source (read free) tool that allows me to see my browser's HTTP commands? [closed]

Question
I am getting into HTTP protocol specifics and I would like to see/understand the calls my browser makes as it is being used. I use Firebug (with Firefox) to look at/debug AJAX interactions, etc, but don't see the full HTTP conversation.
Is there something similar for viewing HTTP commands issued by a browser?
Solution
I use Tamper Data, a Firefox add-on, to see HTTP requests and responses, and to manipulate them.
OTHER TIPS
HttpFox or the venerable LiveHttpHeaders
Yes, you can monitor your connection with Wireshark.
You can see all the HTTP requests your browser makes for a page (not just AJAX) with the Firebug net panel. Or you can switch to a proxy tool like Fiddler or Charles to see all the http requests made by the browser. If you need more detail, Microsoft VRTA is a free tool that makes netmon data easier to read, and doesn't depend on a proxy.
Proxy from Burp Suite lets you see/modify HTTP requests/responses.
