I am curently trying to find out a way to detect HTTP requests and posts from FACEBOOK.COM ONLY.
But i cant find it in the "filter" area.
Is there any way to see only requests and posts from facebook??
Thanks a lot for your time.
Since Facebook is using HTTPS you won't be able to get the requests using Wireshark. To capture those requests you can use your browser's console.

This is something I was wondering, but could not get a definitive answer elsewhere.
Is a http get request asynchronous?
If they're different, are there any major differences?
Not looking for opinions, just definitive answers.
Googling has just repeatedly led me to examples of one or the other.
HTTP is the most common protocol used to transfer data on the web. It's what the browser users on port 80 for all websites. Pages, AJAX, etc.
GET is a particular "verb" used in an HTTP request. A GET request is usually distinct in that it doesn't have a request body and it doesn't expect to modify anything on the server, simply "get" data.
AJAX requests are essentially HTTP requests made from JavaScript code, rather than from navigation in the browser. They may be GET requests, or they may be other kinds of HTTP requests. Structurally they're no different from any other HTTP request made by the browser, they're just made from code instead of the browser's UI.
There is overlap between these three terms, because they're not mutually exclusive versions of the same thing. They're apples and oranges, really. HTTP isn't different from the other two, it would be different from something like FTP. GET isn't different from the other two, it would be different from something like POST.
You can see a lot of this in action by taking a look at your browser's debugging tools. Visiting any reasonably active page (such as Stack Overflow, for example) will show you a number of requests being made and the server's responses to those requests. As you interact with a page which uses AJAX, watch those requests in the debugging tools and see how they're structured. Load a page or two by navigation and see how those requests are structured.
There's not much to it, really. It's all requests and responses, each of which is simply headers and content.
Ajax used so web applications can send data to and retrieve from a server asynchronously (in the background) without interfering with the display and behavior of the existing page.
HTTP GET or HTTP POST are method in the HTTP Protocol, which are a way to send and receive the data.
While Ajax is the Car, HTTP Protocol is the Driving laws.
Few examples of everyday surfing using Ajax:
Facebook Feed - When scrolling to the bottom of Facebook a Loader circle appears that loads a more prior updates on your wall, this is happening without surfing to another page, but rather retrieving it while still on the same page.
Google Omnibox Prediction - When typing part of the text in the Omnibox, google will suggest you the completion of your text while you're still typing.
First try to get through : GET vs POST.
An ajax call can be GET or POST or PUT or any other.
To differentiate between ajax GET & normal HTTP GET.
Ajax GET seems asynchronous by as the request is sent using another thread by the browser.
Ajax GET request has additional X-Requested-With: XMLHttpRequest.
GET Request is captured by browser history, whilw Ajax GET does not get captured.
I am trying using facebook from Scrapy.
I can log in successfully. However, I can't get the posts on facebook because the posts comes from ajax calls.
I tried using firebug and check the XHR. I got this:
I tried to check the response of all those request but none of them contains the actual data of the posts.
What is the ajax request that get the posts on facebook?
Thanks in advance
Don't use the AJAX calls from your browser. Those are encrypted since Facebook uses HTTPS connections. Focus on using their API to make the calls you need to get the data you want. That's the entire purpose of their Graph API.
I am trying to do a http bot to make me, my online check in.
I used the wireshark application to store the http request and response while i was
make the check in.But when i try to visualize what was sent in the request/response i am not able to to see the https packets.
For example : If i use the firebug plugin (firefox) i am able to see this information:
This first link shows the headers(request/response)
https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B9WcB03Ho2uzZmNlNTUyMDYtZjRhZC00YjljLTlkMDAtMDBiMmU4MDAzYjlk&hl=en_US
This second list shows the paylod of the POST method
https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B9WcB03Ho2uzNjllYjllYTQtZTg2MS00Zjc1LTgyODQtNTUyNTc5YTk5N2Nh&hl=en_US
But in whireShark when i filter for example by the ip.dst_host , the only packets that appear are the TCP and TLSv1 and in each one i am not able to see the some information thar i am able to see in the firebug because that information is in the application layer(HTTP).
The URL : https://checkin.si.amadeus.net/1ASIHSSCWEBTP/sscwtp/checkindirect
HTTPS is explicitly designed to prevent you from seeing this traffic. If you have the server's private key, you can input it into WireShark to decrypt the packets. Otherwise, use Fiddler.
so, I have page doing a number of ajax and jsonp(i.e. injection) to get data. I would like to know how to find out the request URL I have made without using debugging tools, like firebug. etc. i.e. the history of GET request of the browser. Thanks
For the most part, browsers do NOT log a history of their HTTP GET requests. Also, if you're using ajax, you're probably doing HTTP POST requests as well.
You don't have to use an in-browser tool like Firebug, but you will need some tool to actually get a history of requests and the request bodies.
You can use a tool like Fiddler2, which is a proxy that gets all HTTP traffic outgoing from your computer (including from your browser and all other applications).
If you have control of the server environment, you can also set up logging on the server to capture this data.
You can use WireShark or a similar tool to monitor the network traffic and inspect the packets.
I'm developing web application that uses AJAX a lot. It sends several AJAX requests to server per second and update page's content based on the request result.
Is there a way I can save all responses sent from server to browser using AJAX to disc in order to analyze it later?
It is not good to make 'alert' after each request because there are too many requests and I'll not be able to see if the browser works well in this case.
I've tried to use firebug or greasemonkey for Firefox but I failed to save data to disk using them.
Is there any solution for it? Thanks for your help.
Have you tried Fiddler?
It's an application which monitors all http traffic. It's good, and it's free.
