Pete,

I think you'd like Charles:

http://www.xk72.com/charles/

It does exactly what you're looking to do. I haven't played with it
extensively, but I believe that there's plugins for it that extend
it's usefulness. For what it's worth, I believe you'll need a plugin
to make it work with Firefox on windows. This is second hand
information though. It workls splendidly with IE.
