Halo, i am interest in methods, which http analyzer uses to capture data. I would like to write program which saves emails sent via web based clients. The problem is https and HTTP Analyzer solves it, but i dont know how.

I got one interesting answer on my question before, but it doesnt reveal as much as i would like to know.

Programs like HTTP Analyzer can catch the HTTPS data because they insert themselves in the HTTPS stack. As a result, they get the data after it's generated but before it's being encrypted and put in IP packets. This is highly non-trivial.

How it is possible to make? If you have any interesting articles solving this issue, please let me know.
