Web server torturing

[Ahmed Kamal]

Please note that there will only be one client connecting to the web-server.
I guess (if we can't get a separate dump machine), it would be better to
dump on the client machine, than on the server machine where the disk will
probably be active.

OTOH, I'm not sure what kind of information would be interesting to us from
a packet dump in this case?
