Chris, I seriously doubt HttpClient can cause IP packet corruption. HTTP sits on top of TCP/IP and simply does not have means to manipulate lower level structures. > What I would like to know is if there's a way to see *specfically* how > HttpClient is sending my RequestEntity, and if it is in fact sending the > correct content-length and so on. Enable content + header wire logging. For details see the HttpClient logging guide: http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/httpclient/logging.html Hope this helps Oleg > > I know now that the SOAP package I'm trying to send is valid, as I sent > it to the people running the remote server and it processes fine, so the > only place I can see now where the problem is lying would be that > HttpClient is malforming the package. > > I'm using the following to send the SOAP/XML file: > > ~~~ > File input = new File("testCreate.xml"); > > client.getParams().setAuthenticationPreemptive(true); > client.getParams().setVersion(HttpVersion.HTTP_1_1); > client.getParams().setBooleanParameter("http.protocol.expect-continue", > true); > post.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "text/xml; charset=utf-8"); > post.setRequestHeader("SOAPAction","http://remote.server.com/ProcessXml";); > post.setRequestEntity(new InputStreamRequestEntity(new > FileInputStream(input), input.length())); > > int status = client.executeMethod(post); > ~~~ > > In the debug/wire log, all it tells me is that "EntityEnclosingMethod - > Request body sent", and I know that if I just tried to output the > contents of the file, it wouldn't be the same as what was being > transported to the remote server. > > (Alternatively, if someone can tell me if there's a way to decode the > output from Ethereal, that would work just as well.
