firebug will show you what requests are being made, among many other things.

Live HTTP Headers, for example:
https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/3829/

Thanks. I have tried firebug before, but (unless I've not learnt to use it

to the local server, so that I can see more clearly (and quickly) what
external requests are being made?

Thanks. That looks useful - if I can construct the right regex to exclude
the local files.
