Self hosted console

Is it possible to view client transaction requests and host response in a self hosted console window? I've searched several places and cannot find any tutorial, examples, or post that can answer my question.

Front end client sends request to service
Service console displays requested data in console window and forwards to listening server
Server responds with data
Response is displayed in console window

I guess it would be displaying the traces in the console window. I'm not exactly sure of what the coding term would be for this.

use something like SmartInspect for this maybe? you can just have all the pieces add logging via SI and it would all show up in the console
