HttpWebRequest( ) allows 'pseudo-browser' simulation to intercept
incoming HTML for 'screen scraping', etc.
But how would you do the opposite: Programmaticall y find out what a
browser is sending to a website? (Probably via POST)
I'd imagine this is done often, so maybe I'm just missing some
terminology for doing the search. It seems you'd also have to
simulate cookies to do this right. Is code available?

Hi,
If you are 'the webserver' you don't use a HttWebRequest object unless *you*
write the webserver software totally yourselves.
In the ASP.NET environment, you'd use
Request.Headers["User-Agent"]
which would return for instance "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows
NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 1.0.3705)"

Thanks for your reply.
No, I'm not the webserver in this case. I'd like to monitor exactly
what's going on when clicking buttons on a website. If I could
intercept the stream going back from the browser when buttons are
clicked.
I turned up a post where someone referred to this as a 'sniffer', but
that's all I've found.
Hello
Check this url, it is a software that provides your needs. http://www.pocketsoap.com/tcptrace/
In case you want to implement it yourself, what it simply does is listen to
a TCP port, The browser sends data to it, and sends everything it receives
to the server, and sends everything it receives from the server to the
browser. So it sits between the browser and the server and logs all the
communication.
Best regards
Sherif

In addition, you can setup a debug session using Visual Studio that can
connect your server app (that must be compiled in debug mode) and to your
client code as well.
But maybe, you expect too much automagically things happen, the answer is
no, you really need that sniffer or a debug session. The sniffer is a lot
easier to deploy than a good debug session (that gives the info you need). This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |
