some personal, more technical – by Thomas Einwaller

20 Dec 2006Today I found a plugin version of the tcpmon utility. This utility is very useful when testing web services or simple http requests. It can act as a proxy and write out every request and response. Simply download the the zip file and extract it into your Eclipse plugin folder.
To run your requests over this proxy start tcpmon and create a new proxy by defining the listen port (e.g. 8080) and selecting the checkbox Proxy on the Admin tab. By defining the Java VM arguments
-Dhttp.proxyHost=localhost -Dhttp.proxyPort=8080
you tell your application to use this proxy.
