Apache :: How to Monitor all HTTP (Request + Response) data?

I have the latest Apache Web Server installed on my Windows 7 OS. What free / commercial application can i use to monitor all HTTP incoming requests (header, data) and the corresponding outgoing response (header, data) ? I'm also OK with just monitoring the header information.

Thanks.

For Windows I would recommend "wfetch.exe" from Microsoft.
This is a http-client that shows complete in/out traffic.
-> google for wfetch, the first entry should be the correct one.

Thank you black_harry. I actually have an app that is making an HTTP request to the Apache server. I would like to have some tool that would sit between and report the incoming and outgoing traffic. Wfetch appears to be just a client as opposed to a middle man tool.
