I’m developing a website that uses SSL (connction to https) and I want to confirm that all the data sent is encrypted. Could anyone give me a good free packet sniffer on Mac OS that I could use?
Thanks!

It’s not as slick as Wireshark, but OS X has a built-in command line tool for capturing and displaying packets:
(the
-Aflag makes it display the packets’ contents as text,-s0makes it capture entire packets not just the headers,-ien0makes it capture on the first ethernet interface (generally, the wireless is en1), andport 80makes it only capture traffic to/from port 80 (see the man page for more options for capture patterns.)
