Checking incoming and outgoing data of a Web Service

Question

Hi All,

I have a web service in C# that I have deployed on IIS 6.0. I want to view the data going out and coming ot this web service.

I know about MS SOAP toolkit, but it seems to be deprecated by MS. Does anyone know about any other good tool other than MS soap toolkit. I cannot afford to spend money on any tool, so I need FREE tools if any.

thanks

Answer 1

It is not clear (to me) from your question, whether this is a one time debugging exercise you are after or a logging-style solution for your app.

For the former I use either TCPTrace (free) or HttpAnalyzer

Answer 2

You can use wireshark to analyze you network traffics.

and also you can use SoapUI to send SOAP Commands to your webservice.

Answer 3

You can use MS Fiddler or the MS Visual Round Trip Analyzer.
