Detecting Port Utilized by Webbrowser

Question

When the webbrowser control issues an HTTP request to a URL, it is assigned a port - which is utilized for the length of that connection.

Is there away to find out which port is being utilized for each connection the webbrowser control establishes/issues?

Answer 1

Every request is potentially using a different port. Since most requests are resolved in a couple of seconds and then closed, having the port information on the client isn't going to be very helpful.

If you're interested from a historical perspective, you can add the port number to the logs that many web servers generate.

In order to view this information live you can use a tool such as TCPView

Now for the real question. What are you trying to do? There may be an easier way.
