Hey All, I found an amazing tool last night that helped us track down an issue with a deployment of our app on our testing servers. We were getting strange HTTP faults that only occured on the testing server and it was impossible to use a http tunneling tool such as NetTools to track down the faults. One reason is that we dynamically change the server routing depending on where the app is deployed and I needed to verify that the calls where being formatted and routed correctly but do to time and out build process, putting in extra hooks to trap the calls and verify the output was only to be considered as a last resort.
After doing some digging I found a Firefox extension called Tamper Data, that allows you to catch, hold, read, modify and even cancel post/get calls from the browser. Not only that, but it gives you timing info on the call back and even has built in charting. This tool allowed me to actually verify that I was sending the correct information and that the fault was acutally on the server and not the app. I highly recommend it because it is super easy to use, requires no port juggling (which can break the Flash sandbox on servers) and works on remote servers because its intergrated into the browser. check it out: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/966/ - james -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com Yahoo!
