Viewing SOAP packet sent to a vendor's Web Service

Viewing SOAP packet sent to a vendor's Web Service

  Shannon,

  Thanks for the help. We were able to use the 'Fiddler' tool to capture the outgoing soap request.

  The web service accepts a comma-delimited list of phone numbers as input and we are sending less than 100 so it's not a size limit it is something else.

  Thanks, Ron

  Here is a couple of other options:

  Soap Extensions ... see this article for how:
  http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/dnaspnet/html/asp03222001.asp

  Fiddler can also be helpful with debugging..

  But your problem sounds like you are running into the maximum file size limitation the at ASP.NET imposes. The maximum SOAP message size for a Web Service was capped at 4 MB. There is more on this here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/dnservice/html/service11072001.asp

  I don't know what are you using on your client side, if you are using WSE you can enable tracing in the config file.

  <microsoft.web.services3>

  <diagnostics>

  <trace enabled="false" input="inputTrace.webinfo" output="outputTrace.webinfo"/>

  </diagnostics>

  </microsoft.web.services3>

  If you are using any other tool you can use TcpTrace/ProxyTrace (http://www.pocketsoap.com/tcptrace/) or SoapTrace(http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx FamilyId=C943C0DD-CEEC-4088-9753-86F052EC8450&displaylang=en) to see the message sent.

  Diego,

  We are using Visual Studio 2003 and Visual Basic. Our app is an ASP.net web page and the reference was added by right-clicking on 'References' and 'Add Web Reference'.

  We are not using WSE but we can look into this and the other tools you suggested.

  Thanks for the help, Ron
