Diagnostic information for SoapHttpClientProtocol requests / respo

[Jaans]

(Using the .NET Framework 2 RTM)

I'm inheriting from SoapHttpClientP rotocol to create a "proxy" class that
interfaces with a 3rd party system using an HTTP SOAP interface.

How can I trace / log / intercept / view the raw data from the request (to
debug that what I send conforms to spec) and the response (again to debug) ?

WSE has some tracing built in, but I cannot find anything for a
SoapHttpClientP rotocol use.

Thanks

Found some very useful resources...

* .NET has built in tracing for the System.Net (and other) namespace(s). To
enable network tracing see

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/a6sbz1dx.aspx

* ProxyTrace from PocketSoap provides a HTTP Proxy through which to
"channel" your SOAP requests (any http request for that matter) and log it.
(see http://www.pocketsoap.com/tcptrace/pt.aspx)

* SOAPScope from MindReef (very nice WebService diagnostic system) - (see
http://www.mindreef.com/products/soapscope/index.php)


Hope it helps!

Thank you for the shared information. Besides this, the Trace utility in MS
SOAP toolkit is also a choice.
