compress/gzip?

Use wireshark http://wireshark.org/ to sniff the packets. If you are using a gzip stream then the contents of the packets won't be immediately readable because you'll be seeing the gzip compressed data. Compare that with non-gzipped data where you can see the HTML in each response packet in the stream. Set it to watch traffic for say tcp host 127.0.0.1 port 8080 - assuming you've set bfilter to listen on the loop back IP on port 8080.
