That application looks neat, but how exactly does it work; specifically to analyze/monitor port 80 (HTTP) traffic.
I tried setting remote port to 80, and kept local port as is, and set IE's proxy settings to point to localhost and the local port, but it wouldn't allow connecting to any sites.
TrivialProxy?

This tool is used for logging raw TCP traffic. You need to enter the remote address where you want the local traffic to be redirected to (after logging it). eg. you could enter portablefreeware.com, 80 as your destination and all the traffic sent to the local port will be redirected to portablefreeware.com.
You probably won't find it the best tool for analyzing HTTP traffic, since it doesn't understand HTTP headers, doesn't decompress GZIP-ped content, doesn't handle SSL etc.
It is useful if you need to analyzed raw TCP data exchange. eg. if you are debugging client-server programs that uses its own protocol for communication.
