I'd like to snoop on my (self initiated) https traffic so I can write a monitor for a third party web app that is only available over https. In a similar situation but with clear text, I've made use of a perl proxy that generates code mimicking the browser initiated transaction, which can then be lightly modified into a Nagios managed monitor for that kind of transaction.
The described technique looks like it might get me some of the way there, but it's kind of a square peg to my round hole. My google/stackoverflow searches aren't getting me very far; I found a reference to jmeter acting as an https client proxying http, but that looks like a similarly deep hole. Maybe it's easier than it looks; I don't know.
I'm no browser expert, but I'm not particularly afraid of javascript.
