tcpmon - http and soap message

Question

First of all, I would like to apologize for the lack of research, this is kind of urgent.

Are soap messages binded in http request/header? If yes, can I view soap messages using tcpmon?

Is there any other way to view soap messages?

Answer 1

Are soap messages binded in http request/header?

Yes - but usually in the body of the request (i.e. as a post).

can I view soap messages using tcpmon?

I'm guessing you're refering to Apache tcpmon or this ... or this...or...? Don't know. If not you might try pastmon

Yes, you can use TCPMon no problem. Just create a listener, on say port 9999, and set your Target Hostname and Port # to the machine that is serving the requests. Change your client to make the call to localhost:9999 and you'll see all the traffic come through.
