hi, With the assumption that the problem might be from the app and that tcpdump is unconvinient/unavailable then i will suggest the follow.
Write a simple script, PHP or similar, to accept the call from your app and write the entire uri to a file. To narrow down the problem, you may want to put this script on another box. Hope this helps. On 1/15/09, Nikos Balkanas <nbalka...@gmail.com> wrote: > I find tcpdump (or snoop in my case with Solaris) indispensible. I think you > should at least give it a try.
