Hi,

I am calling a web-service hosted on a BEA WebLogic webserver which uses
custom port 8100 from .NET 2.0 web-service code. I am having major problems
just calling their WebMethods. I am sure everything is set up OK on my side
but they say the HTTP header is malformed because the port (8100) does not
appear in the HTTP header in the request I am generating using VS 2005. It
seems that if I try to modify the request.Headers["Host"] header directly, I
am told I am not allowed to. Firstly, is there a free tool that will allow
me to see the raw HTTP request I am 'sending' to this webserver so I can see
exactly what is happening. Also, are there any specific SOAP headers or any
thing extra I need to do to make the call on a custom port?

Thanks,

Peter

(URL Wraps. Or use http://tinyurl.com/empf)

Just dress your method with a [Trace( FileName="<enter filename
here">)] attribute and the request + response will be saved to the
file. This applies only to the Request or Response XML, not the HTTP
headers.

Also check out www.fiddlertool.com (this works for browser based
requests but not for requests made through an application)

Not as far as I know. I think your connection should be made on that
port but nothing need change as far as the HTTP request contents are
concerned. But I may be wrong, do let me know if you get any further
after looking at the request.
