The python stack has a nifty debugging switch you can turn on that
prints out all the XML - maybe the perl stack does too.  Other than
that, I would use tcpdump or wireshark while making sure the connection
was not over SSL - as long, of course, as the connection between client
and server wasn't able to be eavesdropped on.  Personally, I edit
/etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date on the spacewalk server and change the https
from http on the serverURL line, and then run the scripts over loopback
while running a packet-capture program.

Hope to help,

Josh
