If you've ever used WebScarab and been interested in the scripted tab, here is a nice template to get you started. One of the problems with the default template is that it leaves a lot of work to just get the output displayed to the window. I created two easy helper methods (printRequest and printResponse) and also rearranged the layout to be easier to traverse. Edit the details at the bottom. It should be pretty clear.
Never used webscarab? Time to learn.
