You can use tcpdump
to sniff some packets on the server, something like this:
# tcpdump -vv -s0 tcp port 80 -w /tmp/apache_outgoing.pcap
and run your PHP script to see what happens.
Is there any way to restrict it to a) Only POST data,
You can sniff all and filter with http.request.method == POST
in Wireshark.
b) Only coming from 1.1.1.1
# tcpdump -vv -s0 tcp port 80 and src host 1.1.1.1
and c) only going to 2.2.2.2 ?
# tcpdump -vv -s0 tcp port 80 and dst host 2.2.2.2
Read the tcpdump
's man page for more details.
