RPM of new version 1.0.6 of libmemcached the library to communicate with memcached servers is available in remi repository for Fedora et Enterprise Linux. It's also available in rawhide.

As always:
yum --enablerepo=remi install libmemcached

So :

A fellow Racker showed me httpry about five years ago and I've had in my toolbox as a handy way to watch HTTP traffic. I'd used some crazy tcpdump arguments and some bash one-liners to pull out the information I needed but I never could get the live look that I really wanted.

Here's an example of what httpry's output looks like on a busy site like icanhazip.com:

2012-03-13 23:29:39 186.x.x.x	192.x.x.x > GET	icanhazip.com	/	HTTP/1.1	-	-
2012-03-13 23:29:39 192.x.x.x	186.x.x.x < -	-	-	HTTP/1.1	200	OK
2012-03-13 23:29:39 187.x.x.x	192.x.x.x > GET	icanhazip.com	/	HTTP/1.0	-	-
2012-03-13 23:29:39 192.x.x.x	187.x.x.x < -	-	-	HTTP/1.0	200	OK
2012-03-13 23:29:39 188.x.x.x	192.x.x.x > GET	icanhazip.com	/	HTTP/1.1	-	-
2012-03-13 23:29:39 192.x.x.x	188.x.x.x < -	-	-	HTTP/1.1	200	OK
2012-03-13 23:29:39 189.x.x.x	192.x.x.x > GET	icanhazip.com	/	HTTP/1.1	-	-
2012-03-13 23:29:39 192.x.x.x	189.x.x.x < -	-	-	HTTP/1.1	200	OK

You can watch the requests come in and the responses go out in real time. It even allows for BPF-style packet filters which allow you to narrow down the source and/or destination IP addresses and ports you want to watch. You can run it as a foreground process or as a daemon depending on your needs.

It's now available as a RPM package for Fedora 15, 16, 17 (and rawhide) as well as EPEL 6 (for RHEL/CentOS/SL 6).

New Fedora and EPEL package: httpry is a post from: Major Hayden's Racker Hacker blog.
