Check it out... major coolness!

Ratproxy is a semi-automated, largely passive web application security audit tool. It is meant to complement active crawlers and manual proxies more commonly used for this task, and is optimized specifically for an accurate and sensitive detection, and automatic annotation, of potential problems and security-relevant design patterns based on the observation of existing, user-initiated traffic in complex web 2.0 environments. The approach taken with ratproxy offers several important advantages over more traditional methods:

* No risk of disruptions.

* Low effort, high yield.

* Preserved control flow of human interaction.

* WYSIWYG data on script behavior.

* Easy process integration.

Is it worth trying out?

There are numerous alternative proxy tools meant to aid security auditors - most notably WebScarab, Paros, Burp, ProxMon, and Pantera. Stick with whatever suits your needs, as long as you get the data you need in the format you like.

wow take a look at this tight little implementation! Nice concept, rapid return of the image and though it did not ship with sparklines support it will add it shortly...
Google Chart API

The Google Chart API returns a PNG-format image in response to a URL. Several types of image can be generated: line, bar, and pie charts for example. For each image type you can specify attributes such as size, colors, and labels.

You can include a Chart API image in a webpage by embedding a URL within an tag. When the webpage is displayed in a browser the Chart API renders the image within the page.
