Is it possible to intercept raw HTTP requests and response in my own explorer bar?

Where are you trying to access the information from? Take a look at www.fiddlertool.com which is a useful tool that already provides this information.

Thanks

PS: Let me also add that hooked functions can easily lead to performance and stability problems in IE, and I do not recommend it as a solution. It is a *warmly* debated topic on the team; extensions that rely on this architecture are vilified to some degree. The fact that it is still being done even by our own tools points to a larger issue that is being addressed over time--namely, what services can IE provide that will make this kind of scenario easier to build and support.
