How to log the http post message on the client

[bill]

Is there a way to log the actual outgoing http post message on a Web
Services client? I am calling a Java Web Services. I have to use HTTP POST
in my native C++ code. What I can do is writing a C# client and try to see
what's been sent out. Then, I can then try to do a HTTP POST in my C++ code
following the format I have from the C# client.

I found there is something called SOAPExtension. But, it involves the change
on the server side, and it seems to me that it is .NET specific.

Thanks for your help.

Hi Marvin,
I ended up using ProxyTrace for that. It works pretty well for .NET clients.
I have to set the proxy server in web.config ot ProxyTrace. I would like to
use it to intercept HTTP POST from non .NET applications.

Do you know how to set the proxy server for the whole system? I tried to set
it in Internet Explorer. It only affects tracffic from/to Internet Explorer.
Thanks for your help.

Bill,

Can you do something like this:

IWebProxy mWebProxy;
mWebProxy = New WebProxy("172.20.1.1"); //IP address of the
proxy server
mywebservice.Proxy = mWebProxy;

This will setup you web service to use the proxy server.

I hope this helps.
