using HTTP debug proxy with chemistry
Hi,
I would like to be able use something like Fiddler with my Apache Chemistry
client.
My chemistry client is embedded in a server application running in a Jetty
server. I would like to see the request/response trace while using the Web
Services binding between the chemistry client and the CMIS repository
(which is on a different box).
My setup is a client/server spring application with both the client and
server running on my development box. The server part of the app is what
contains the Chemistry client libraries, and is deployed on Jetty.
The CMIS repository is on a different machine, accessible over the network.
Pretty standard stuff.
I tried adding this to the Jetty JVM startup:
-Dhttp.proxyHost=localhost -Dhttp.proxyPort=8888
and tried invoking the server with Fiddler running, but nothing gets
captured when calls are made to the CMIS repository. I know Fiddler is
working because I can see it capturing my browser traffic. I also tried
with IP address and 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost and nothing helped.
Am I going about this right way? I have the CMIS and Apache Chemistry in
Action book, but it just mentions how to do this with the CMIS workbench
(which works).
Thanks,
Tim

Hi,
Thanks but the CMIS repository is actually running on a remote server. The
bit I couldn't get working was routing the request from my application
server (hosted locally, where the chemistry client libraries are running)
through the proxy and to the remote CMIS repository.
I also tried the Eclipse TCP/IP monitor, but for some reason it only showed
the HTTP headers and not the rest of it.
Either way, I got what I needed using Wireshark, but thanks for your time
and help..:-)

I meant the URL of the cmis server (as you said it runs on your dev box as
well). The proxy configuration itself should be fine with localhost or
127.0.0.1.

Hi Dieter,
Did you mean use the fully qualified name of the proxy host (i.e. the PC
that Fiddler is running on)? When I try this, I get an HTTP connection
error:
Error: HTTP transport error: java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused:
connect
I can seem to monitor the traffic using Wireshark OK. Fiddler would have
been nicer to use I think ...:-(
Thanks,
Tim

Hi Tim,
I noticed something similar some months ago. If I remember correctly, the
JVM was to "clever" to avoid proxies for request going to localhost and
127.0.0.1.
I think I overcome this by pointing my client to the full-qualified
computer name as the CMIS server instead of using localhost or 127.0.0.1.
Regards,
Dieter
