Can netcat capture the actual url string ?

[grahama1970]

I am trying to use netcat to capture a url string sent to port 8181.
;

http://127.0.0.1:8181?cmd=some_cmd

;
how can I capture the actual url string sent above ?
I am using this method so two different applications on the SAME localhost computer can communicate
;
many thanks
