Hello,

Are there any ways i can listen and log all HTTP messages from a
process on my machine. Here is my scenario. I am writing a tool, that
launches a process and then listens to any HTTP requests sent from
that process. I am interested in one such request as i have to parse
some data from that request.

I have looked into HTTP listener but HTTP listener API's do not allow
me to get specific to view messages sent from a process.

My tool is in C# so I am most interesterd in ways to do the same
using .NET. Any help to make progress will be very helpful.

Thanks
Gowri

Hi,

Maybe I didnt understand your needs but it seems like you need a
sniffer such as http://www.wireshark.org/

Hi,

You want to "sniff" the traffic of that process. This is doable, but
it imply a lot of low level work, it's much better if you use a third
party tool for that, if you search for "sniffer" you will find a good
number of them
