If the browser is Linux-based, use tcpdump to capture all of the traffic
between the browser and server and save it to a file. Run this in a
separate CLI window on the browser machine as root:

	tcpdump -i any -vvv -w <save-file> host <name-of-server>

Once you've captured all the traffic, copy <save-file> to a machine
with a GUI and use wireshark-gtk to analyze the file:

	wireshark-gtk -r <save-file>

Pretty standard fare.
