You can use TCPVIEW to log the session in Windows.  The README:

INTRODUCTION
------------------------------------------------------------------
TCP Viewer captures and displays all data that is transferred between client
processes and a server process communicating through TCP/IP. The processes can
be running on the same machine or different machines located anywhere on a
network or the Internet. TCP Viewer can run on a machine different than the
machine(s) that the processes are running on. An example of a client and server
is a web browser and web server.

TCP Viewer can be used by a developer to debug protocol problems or by anyone
who is curious about what data is passed between processes.

------------------------------------------------------------------
DETAILS
------------------------------------------------------------------
TCP Viewer is an Internet Relay. It routes data from client processes to a
server process and vice-versa. The clients and server indirectly communicate
with each other through TCP Viewer. The clients and server are unaware that
they are directly communicating with TCP Viewer. TCP Viewer captures and
displays the transferred data.

A server runs on a machine, that has an IP address, at a predetermined port
number. For a client to connect to a server, it must know the name or IP
address of the machine that the server is running on, and which port number it
has established.

The following are instructions, with an example of how to use TCP Viewer with
a web browser and web server.

1. Provide TCP Viewer with the name or IP address of the machine that the
server is running on (Remote Host), and the port number that the server has
established (Remote Port). For example, Remote Host=www.yahoo.com,
Remote Port=80.

2. Provide TCP Viewer with a arbitrary port number to establish (Local Port).
If 0 is provided, TCP Viewer will ask the OS for an available port number. The
port number it establishes will be displayed. For example, Local Port=9000.

3. Configure a client to connect to TCP Viewer instead of the server. This
involves providing a client with the name or IP address of the machine that
TCP Viewer is running on, instead of the machine that the server is running
on, and the port number that TCP Viewer has established, instead of the port
number that the server has established. For example, http://127.0.0.1:9000.
Substitute 127.0.0.1 with the IP address of the machine that TCP Viewer is
running on. TCP Viewer shows this IP address on its status bar.

TCP Viewer displays its output in a scrollable text box. This data may
additionally be sent to a file. By default, only 32KB of data is kept in the
scrollable text box. Higher data limits may be selected, including unlimited.
However, TCP Viewer runs slower as the amount of data in the scrollable text
box grows. It handles more than one connection.

The unregistered version does not provide the option of logging data to a
file, only keeps 32KB of data in the scrollable text box and handles a maximum
of four simulatneous connections. When you register TCP Viewer, you will be
sent a code that enables the additional features. Contact us if you would like
to evaluate TCP Viewer with the additional features before registering. We
would be happy to send you a temporary code.

------------------------------------------------------------------
COMMAND-LINE PARAMETERS
------------------------------------------------------------------
No command-line parameters need to be provided to TCP Viewer. If provided, it
must conform to the following Usage statement:

Usage: TCPVIEWR <remote host> <remote port> <local port> [-file <log file>]
  [-size 32KB|128KB|512KB|2MB|Unlimited] [-detail Low|Medium|High] [-auto]

-auto causes TCP Viewer to 'Start' automatically. And, it will not prompt for
confirmation, when closing, if the local port is still opened.

For example, 'TCPVIEWR www.yahoo.com 80 9000 -file YAHOO.TXT -auto'.

------------------------------------------------------------------
REQUIREMENTS
------------------------------------------------------------------
* Windows 9X/ME/NT/2000 
* 2MB RAM 
* 1MB hard disk space 

------------------------------------------------------------------
REGISTERING
------------------------------------------------------------------
The registration fee for TCP Viewer is $20 and licenses everyone in your
company to use it. See the registering topic in TCP Viewer's help file for
additional details.

------------------------------------------------------------------
DISTRIBUTING
------------------------------------------------------------------
You may make as many copies of the software as you wish; give exact copies of
it to anyone; and distribute the software in its unmodified form via
electronic means. There is no charge for any of the above.

You are provided with a license code when you register. You may not distribute
the license code to anyone outside of your company.
