When I am using Safari, I can open the Activity window to see which URLs are being accessed and also see which of them are in progress being fetched, which are done, and which are stuck. This helps me when I'm diagnosing a problem with a site that appears to hang, since I can tell what it is trying to retrieve from what address.

Is there a tool to let me see something like this for an arbitrary application that is using TCP/IP, and maybe even HTTP, behind the scenes? I'm looking for something higher level than a packet sniffer, so I can tell which Internet domains an application is accessing and, for HTTP accesses (e.g., SOAP), what URL.
