I want to analyze WCF messages...

Question

Hi,

as in title I want to see the code of the messages exchanged in local testing.

I want to do it to ensure that they are really encrypted as I set to do.

Can someone help me?

Thanks,

Alberto

Answer 1

You can use SvcConfigEditor to enable tracing, which may be enough - see also (on MSDN) Configuring Message Logging. Alternatively - for non-local testing, you can perhaps use something like Fiddler (for http) or Wireshark (for everything else) to watch the traffic.

Answer 2

Try this Microsoft util :

Service Trace Viewer Tool

Handy for diagnosing exactly what is going on under the hood.

Answer 3

I sometimes use SoapTrace - its fairly lightweight but you have to use HTTP transport.
