When implementing/deploying and building all things BizTalk/Silverlight and related,
there’s going to be a time when you’re needing to see what’s on the wire.
I’ve currently found a few handy options:
-
FireFox’s FireBug – brilliant! a plug-in straight
from the browser environment. Deals only in Browser initiated traffic though.Gives great anaylsis on HTML page composition/scripts and dynamic content source – A
MUST for any Silverlight work
-
Fiddler – sets itself up as a proxy
that your browser requests through, once again, my browser has to initiate the calls. -
Smart Sniff – smsniff – 48kb and
this is a full blown packet anaylser giving access to all packets to/from NICs. –
THIS by far is my choice!
Check them out folks – Smartsniff small enough to go on any memory key.
All free!
