HTTP post, get and variables

How can I monitor exactly what information my browser sends with GET and/or POST methods to a web page? I mean not only the name of the parameters, but also the values.

F.eks.: http://somesite.com/?user=name&password=pass

When I log on to a web site with a form for username and password, I would like to know the URL the form post/get action sends to, and the names of the variables (above: user, password) as well as the values (above: name, pass).

How is this easiest accomplished? With a package sniffer like WireShark? With a local proxy server?

All advice, as well as specific appliactions and a quick intro on how to get the exact information, is greatly appreciated.

Well the easiest way is with developer tools.

F12 in Chrome and IE and Firebug in Firefox.

If you're wanting something a little more in depth, try fiddler
