You typically add <mx:TraceTarget> in your top level application MXML file. While this will show you the body of the request and the responses, which is generally useful, it does not show you things like raw HTTP request or response headers (the latter case is why a sniffer is needed). Pete

Hi Simon, This info seems to contradict what others have offered in this same thread. Where precisely would I add this directive? Thanks.

You can get at the contents of the messages using <mx:TraceTarget> on the client, which will spit a whole load of stuff to your console in debug mode. I don't use an http service, but I know that on the server you can alter the level of logging by adjusting the contents of the logging tag in services-config.xml. hth Simon --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com <mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com> , "flexnubslice" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi there, > > Thanks in advance for your help.
