Hello All, I have a tool I'm trying to test and I'm hoping that someone here can point me in the right direction. What I need is a tool that will allow me to view whether or not the outbound urls and inbound data are reaching the program I'm trying to test, so I need to find a tool that will allow me to see the traffic going to and from a local machine via the internet. Does anyone know of a tool that will allow me to view this traffic so I can see if the program is getting to a specific URL and if the response from the URL is returning properly to the program? Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated.
You can check via the IP but not the domain name, as browsers are actually accessing the website via their IPs. On windows, you can use netstat (in cmd). Peace,
Hello azizny, Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately this isn't going to help me since I need to see specific URL's that the program is accessing. The program accesses several URL's at multiple locations per domain, and in order for me to know whether the program is working properly I need to see these specific addresses. I did find one possible solution via Ethereal which may do the trick but I haven't confirmed this yet. If anyone has any other possible solutions I'd love to hear them. Thanks again azizny, I really appreciate you taking the time to respond.
Can you not use ethereal ? it provides all the information about data packet exchanged between your PC and the network.
Ethereal (now is Wireshark) will fits to you perfectly Just filter package capture using protocol and you'll get full http headers.
