how do i see the url my computer is currently hitting?

I am on Mac OSX. I wrote a program to parse a few websites. The websites are being accessed using curl. How can I view whi开发者_C百科ch url my computer is currently hitting?

If it's being called from your program, I'd add something to that program to print each website before running curl. You can tell curl to print the URL it's fetched with something like this:

curl -w "%{url_effective}\n" -o "$outputfile" "$url"

... but that won't print the URL until after it finishes downloading it. Also, note that this prints the effective URL to stdout; if the content of the web page is also going to stdout, they'll just get mixed together; you should only use this with -o or -O to redirect the web content.

If all else fails, you could try Wireshark. Might be overkill, but then again if you're working with http it's a useful tool anyway.
