Tracing soap message, without server connection?

[huberfl]

Hello,

I generated the client side of a web service and now I'd like to "see"
the SOAP message that is sent to the server. Therefor I intend to use
the tool mssoapt, but I wonder, if I can test it, even if I cannot
reach the server (the destination), as it is behind a firewall and not
accessible for me.

Thanks for your ideas and postings,
Florian

Why don't you setup a test server on your local machine and point your
application their that way you will be able to see the server and test the
packets.

Hello Alvin,
thanks for your reply. I wanted to avoid this whole installation procedure.
But now I found a way, as I was lucky to be able to contact the creator of
the webservice and he can give me the output whenever I want to.
Cheers,
Florian
