Charles is a Java-based HTTP proxy/HTTP monitor/Reverse Proxy that enables a developer to view all of the HTTP traffic between their machine and the Internet. This includes requests, responses and the HTTP headers (which contain the cookies and caching information).
Charles can also simulate modem speeds by effectively throttling your bandwidth and introducing latency, so that you can experience an entire website as a modem user might.

What's New
Version 3.6.5:
Major bug fixes:
- Java 1.7 now supported. Corrects slow startup and hung responses bugs.
- Java 1.7 bad certificate error workaround for sites that use now disabled algorithms (ie. MD2withRSA)
- Windows: Fix launching Charles by opening a file
- SSL empty requests regression from 3.6.4 fixed
- SSL now records the correct remote address details
- SSL errors now more consistently displayed in the browser
- Authentication header viewer can now recover from slightly oddly formatted headers
- Closed connections regression from 3.6.4 fixed
Other changes:
- Double-clicking a request no longer switches Structure and Sequence view. I did this too many times accidentally. The contextual menu now has an option to switch.

The best part: It works regardless of which browser you use (in fact, depending on your network settings for a virtual machine, you can even debug using IE in a VM window).
You start taking the view for granted, and eventually you'll find you can also edit requests, optimizing your applications to ensure you only get/send the data you need.
Firebug, which I used extensively before trying Charles, will soon seem "quaint" -- and woefully underpowered.
