Maybe put a filter in Tomcat around your whole application that logs out the request headers & body when certain conditions match?

Two problems with Ethereal: use of HTTPS for this application and a recalcitrant systems administrator.

Ethereal is your friend. Seriously, I've used it to debug SOAP stuff before, and while you'd think it'd be a horrendous job it's really not that bad.

Use a man-in-the-middle proxy like webscarab that logs all requests and responses.

(Incidentally, IBM Thinkpads have the headphone, USB, Ethernet, modem, S-video and PC card slots on the left side. Only the VGA port and the DVD drive are on the right.)

Use Ethereal. You can set it to filter just that port and then look at the HTTP request and what was sent back.

This isn't a part of Tomcat, per se, but I use the TCPMon utility that comes with Apache Axis. Works great.

Its also worth noting that you may want to run TCPMon on the client to see what its actually getting back from the server...I don't know much about networking but could be that a firewall is doing something weird to the response.

So how do you set up Tomcat or Apache to log the full contents of incoming HTTP requests, including headers and the request body?
