I really enjoy using fiddler - that is web logging proxy, or, the way it is called - a web debugger.
It works very easy way:
It works very easy way:
- When started, modifies the Internet Explorer proxy settings to point them on itself.
- All the request are logged and ready to be analyzed then.
- As much of the software does use IE proxy settings for its own setup, non-straightforward things as SOAP calls, Ajax, embedded-browser calls may also be caught.
- With the captured interchange, one can analyze every aspect of a single roundtrip.
The only thing I dislike about it is its nature - .Net built, it works flawlessly on MS platform, but not on Linux.
The good and working alternative I have found is webscarab project, which is written in java, looks pretty much the same, and does most of the same job. Easy thing. Just run it with java-jar and setup your software to proxy through 127.0.0.1:8008.
