Can SOAPMonitor be used to sniff http requests/responses on clien t side?

2006-02-16 Thread Pantvaidya, Vishwajit



I am sending 
requeststo a remote webservice - 
canIuse SOAPMonitor to sniff 
and pick up those http requests?My understanding is that SOAPMonitor has to be deployed on the web 
service side to monitor the soap traffic to/from that service - since in this 
case I do not have access to the remote webservice host, I presume I will not be 
able to use the SOAPmonitor here.
I triedtcpmon- it is able to intercept my 
resuest messages -I am not able to get the response back from the service. 
Not sure what is 
goingwrong.

you can monitor on client as well...
Configure your monitor so that local port is X[this is any free local port on ur local system]and destination port is Y[this is the port on which ur webservice is running...Ex:8080]..

Now making use of ur client,send requests to port X and NOT Y...everything should work fine..
