it works perfect with the local interface, airport and ethernet with a router but the app really needs support for the (ppp0) interface. i'm afraid without point-to-point protocol - point-to-point over ethernet support it is useless for me.

No bells and whistles, it just does what it should and helps any serious web dev get on with the important bits.
The developer is very helpful and responds quickly to any questions. I had occasion to use IP over FireWire for a particular project. When I discovered that HTTP Scoop didn't work on FireWire connections I contacted the developer and within a couple of days he had sent me an updated version which was FireWire compatible.

HTTP Client is free !
HTTP Client is better !

2. HTTP Client does a different job (just a subset of what HTTP Scoop does)
HTTP Client can't tell you what URLs an app is loading, it just loads the single URL you give it and then shows you the response. Real web applications are loading 10s of URLs for each button click or transaction and HTTP Scoop shows you the whole conversation.

However, tcpflow isn't one of them (at least not for the client versions of Tiger). To get a copy for yourself visit: http://www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/#tcpflow

However, none of these tools fully decode HTTP. Say you want to see what HTML your webserver or appserver is spitting out, but the server's using GZIP content encoding. You'll just get gibberish being printed out.
Try doing 'sudo tcpflow -c' and point your browser at slashdot.org or google.com and you'll see what I mean!
As well as extra decoding, HTTP Scoop gives you a UI which does things like HTML/XML syntax highlighting, hex dumps etc. Maybe not essential, but nice to have.
I'm not knocking tcpflow etc; just pointing out that they're different tools for different jobs... but then again, I'm not entirely unbiased ;-)
