Tool to monitor HTTP, TCP, etc. Web Service traffic [closed]

Answer 1

For Windows HTTP, you can't beat Fiddler. You can use it as a reverse proxy for port-forwarding on a web server. It doesn't necessarily need IE, either. It can use other clients.

Answer 2

Wireshark (or Tshark) is probably the defacto standard traffic inspection tool. It is unobtrusive and works without fiddling with port redirecting and proxying. It is very generic, though, as does not (AFAIK) provide any tooling specifically to monitor web service traffic - it's all tcp/ip and http.

You have probably already looked at tcpmon but I don't know of any other tool that does the sit-in-between thing.

Answer 3

Wireshark does not do port redirection, but sniffs and interprets a lot of protocols.

Answer 4

I use LogParser to generate graphs and look for elements in IIS logs.

Answer 5

I've been using Charles for the last couple of years. Very pleased with it.

Answer 6

Check out Paros Proxy.
