I have an ASPX page. When the page is loaded there is code in the code behind that uses an API. The API makes an HTTPS call out to a third party, commercial web service. I am trying to troubleshoot why the API calls are not working properly. Apparently the API actually constructs an XML request that is sent out over HTTPS to the web service. I've been told by the support rep that I need to provide them with the XML that is being sent. The only way I can figure out how to get the XML is to use a tool like Fiddler to see what is being sent out. So how can I use Fiddler to see the contents of the XML request that is being sent from the server out to the web service? I am running everything directly on the server but all I am seeing is the GET request for the ASPX file itself. I am not seeing anything in relation to the HTTPS request that the server code is sending out to the web service. I have not used Fiddler much so I am hoping that maybe I just don't have it set up right to monitor that traffic.

After mucking around with it a bit I found this post: Why isn't fiddler capturing request when invoking XMLRPC from iis?. That seemed to do the trick! Basically it sounds like the default proxy settings in Win7 are on a per user basis. So I went in and changed the identity of the AppPool for my site to a local user (Administrator) and then it worked great. I started up Fiddler. Then I started up my ASP.NET app and then when I loaded the page I saw the request that went out to the web service from my code behind! Yay!

I'm new at using SoapUI, I'd like to know if my machine supports SOAP and in case yes, what I can use as an endpoint for my newly created SoapUI project.
My machine is a Windows-10, and on top of that I have installed Cygwin (enabling some UNIX features).
Does somebody know how I can retrieve a possible value for an endpoint for my SoapUI project?
Oops, from the comment I have the impression that my question is badly formulated: on my PC I have a server application, of which I don't know if it supports SOAP (I know it supports HTTP because I'm using localhost in a browser to access it).
However when I use localhost or 127.0.0.1 as an endpoint in my SoapUI project, nothing happens (I see no response and the request log stays empty), hence my question.
Per default, mostly no application will act as a SOAP prodiver, as it is much more complicated as REST/http for example.
If your application has the capability of a SOAP provider, it is usually SOAP over HTTP. But you need to know the correct endpoint url address.
Not only 127.0.0.1
Usually there is a servicename in the url (and you can also try to show wsdl with ?wsdl), like http://127.0.0.1/myapplication/myservice?wsdl
when setting up a new soapui project, you also have to provide the wsdl location
(http://127.0.0.1/myapplication/myservice?wsdl)

I am new in the area of SOAP Based web services. I am using TomEE server. The server is a bit customized according to my organization's need.
Few days back, when I was trying to run the web services example from TomEE website, I was able to generate the wsdl and calling the web service by a client.
Now, when I need to use the customized version of TomEE plus (by the organization), I can see that the request does reach to the server and hence there is a log entry also but my #WebMethod is not getting executed.
Does any one has any idea about any configuration which can prevent the request from reaching to the webservice method? Is there any pointer around how can I debug further to reach out to the root cause of this issue?
Without further information about what is customized it's like fishing in the dark.
I would guess that perhaps the global web.xml or the server.xml of tomee server is changed so that some URI context mappings are not forwarded or ignored. But it's only a lucky tip.
I have a webservice which is hosted on api server and application on app server which have url's like https://webservice.test.com/ for webservice server and https://app.test.com/ for application.
In application we get live data from database using several service we developed on webservice server using CORS http request.
In some service like login we have passed custom header x-auth-token from server.
Above is the screen shot of response we have got in Google Chrome for the request. The Custom header shown in last is available in application when we use it in chrome or Mozilla. The same response we got in Safari too, x-auth-token also available in response when we check in headers but can't able to read it through code.
Finally, after a lot of search i got answer for my problem, Custom headers from CORS http request can be read only in Safari for latest webkit version i.e above 537. I have checked in all safari browser which is above this webkit version will provide me cusom header value. And similarly in chrome if webkit is less than 537 version you can't able to read it.
Maybe this answer on github could helpa bit : https://github.com/angular/angular.js/issues/6254
I work on a project which make ajax query to a webservice so I use fiddler to see JSON responses.
But I have encounter troubles using Fiddler. When I launch it on my laptop, Dropbox can't synchronize my files anymore but I can debug my ajax requests. The real problem is when I use Fiddler on my desktop computer, all my requests to my WebService are blocked. My WebService runs on localhost.
I don't understand how it works, can you help me?
Dropbox connections don't work because that application uses a feature called "Certificate Pinning" that reject's Fiddler's HTTPS interception certificate. Why this happens is discussed in the Fiddler book, but you can configure Fiddler not to decrypt dropbox.exe's connections which resolves the issue.
To avoid blocking DropBox App traffic while Fiddler is running, you can use Tools > Fiddler Options > HTTPS to either only decrypt Browser traffic or you can configure Fiddler not to decrypt traffic to *.dropbox.com.
The issue with your "WebService" is almost certainly completely unrelated. You need to be far more specific for anyone to help: What is the client? What is the service written in? What do you see in Fiddler when this happens?
I have an iframe facebook application with a problem i am not able to solve, because i can't understand the source of it.
On the iframe there is a flash movie (in AS3) that makes https calls to a webservice (it basically calls an https address and waits for an xml response).
It is fine on 90% of the cases, but some clients are not able to run any calls and i can't understand why.
They install the app, load the flash movie, but it seems there is something that stops the flash from calling the https address.
Can you think of any reason?
An antivirus? a strict security setup on the browser?
Thanks for the help!
Loading XML files in Flash over an SSL Connection in Internet Explorer fails if the Pragma:no-cache or Cache-control:no-cache HTTP headers are set on the XML file.
