The op mentioned the vendor is posting to an http server. Do you have access to modify the posting page - if so, you can write custom ASPX code to trap and manipulate that data, which would be easier than sniffing packets IMHO.

I'm no expert on network either, but the tool Thom mentioned, Wireshark, should be able to analyze the dataflow, then you would need to figure out what message headers are significant for what you are wanting to do and incorporate that into your listener as events. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ James Walker Systems Analyst Mercy Medical Center Knoxville, TN Office (865)647-2906 Mobile (865)323-7378 Fax (865)545-3007 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ [email protected] 01/19/2011 11:54 AM Please respond to [email protected] To [email protected] cc Subject RE: [talkbws] BWS as Listner. Greetings, Hummm.... Well the scripting into Meditech certainly is possible J I did a brief look see about how this could actually be done - it seems there is a lot more to it than just saying - ok listen on Port 80 for stuff then send it along. Looks like this would be in the realm of creating a packet sniffer e.g. http://www.wireshark.org/ <http://www.wireshark.org/> Afraid I am not knowledgeable enough on this subject to provide any further guidance here - any network guru's here?? Any other way to get the data you're looking for? (reading the users browser perhaps, an after the fact lookup on the web application that folks send stuff to???) Regards, Thom Thom C.

Yes I am looking to sniff the inflight transactions that is a HTTP post. Wanted to capture the URL(which has some query string values) and then script those values to Destination.

Are you looking to "sniff" existing in flight transactions e.g. like this? (thing A)-----àHttp Post --à(destination) (thing A) --àBWS -à http post-à(destination) The BWS help file describes how to use the BWS socket control - take a look at WinSock (TCP/IP) Communications - it's pretty simple.

No, not exactly. the vendor is posting to a http server, can I capture this post to http? Can you pls point me to some documentation on how to monitor a TCP/IP socket for data using BWS.
