Can SOAPMonitor be used to sniff http requests/responses on clien t side?

["Pantvaidya, Vishwajit" <vp...@selectica.com>]

I am sending requests to a remote webservice - can I use SOAPMonitor to
sniff and pick up those http requests? My understanding is that SOAPMonitor
has to be deployed on the web service side to monitor the soap traffic
to/from that service - since in this case I do not have access to the remote
webservice host, I presume I will not be able to use the SOAPmonitor here.

I tried tcpmon - it is able to intercept my resuest messages - I am not able
to get the response back from the service. Not sure what is going wrong.

you can monitor on client as well...
Configure your monitor so that local port is "X"[this is any free local port
on ur local system] and destination port is "Y"[this is the port on which ur
webservice is running...Ex:8080]..

Now making use of ur client,send requests to port "X" and NOT
"Y"...everything should work fine..
