I would like to "catch" the POST data being sent from my web browser to the salesforce servers as it is sent, and then write that information to a file. Can anyone suggest some ways of doing this? Thanks!

If, on the off chance, you're storing the information in leads, you can use the web-to-lead functionality in Salesforce.  Otherwise, you'll need to start looking at a simple web service (either soap or RESTful) in Salesforce that listens for the data and stores it in the desired object(s).  Here's a bit more info on how you could write a simple RESTful service for interacting with your external site:
