Can Fiddler2 be used to monitor SOAP requests made in Visual Studio debugging session

Question

I have a .NET application which makes SOAP web service calls to a 3rd-party web service.

While debugging the application in Visual Studio, I would like to monitor the outbound HTTP requests using Fiddler2 or a similar tool?

Is this possible? How can it be done?

Update 2011.02.09 - the web service is 3rd-party, not localhost.

Answer 1

Should be possible. I have been using Fiddler to debug my web service (REST) calls and it shouldn't be different with SOAP.

Note that you will need to use IIS and not the visual studio development server. Make sure that you use the machine name instead of localhost and that fiddler is set to capture all processes.

Answer 2

Fiddler can't intercept traffic through localhost, however this blog indicates a workaround to make Fiddler capture localhost traffic.

EDIT: To answer your question, yes Fiddler can capture SOAP just fine.
