With Burp, you can get rid of the browser certificate warnings if you wish,
by installing Burp's CA certificate in your browser. Burp generates a new CA
certificate on installation, and creates a valid certificate for each domain
you visit, signed by the CA cert. 

Further details, and instructions for installing the CA cert, can be found
here:

You can use webscarab to snoop on the web traffic and/or extract
secondary loads more easily.

Can I see the traffic with webscarab if the site is using https
connection?

Hi Zaki, 

Yes.  Webscarab presents its own certificate to your browser so you
will get a warning of your intentional man in the middle attack
against your own https connection.  

Burp, Fiddler2, Charles, Paros and the other interactive proxies all
work relatively similarly in this regard.
