Solaris - Utility to capture SOAP

Hi,

I was wondering what would be the best tool to capture SOAP requests in a Solaris OS. The SOAP requests are in a xml format.

So far I tried to use:
ngrep -W byline -d igb2 port 7700

Used byline so the output retains the natural line breaks...

And did not try the tcpreplay (which I think might work.

The goal is to have the output to be used for a possible resend later on...

Any suggestion?

Tks,
Joao

Its an external system sending the SOAP requests via a endpoint address to an server that will process them.

What Im looking is something that I can leave it running so I can capture all the incoming requests xml code (plain) and maybe to use it to reprocess later on...

Wireshark I use for debug (as you say)... So not the goal here...

With the ngrep command I was able to see the plain xml (ngrep -W byline -d igb2 port 7700).

My question is: Is there a better option for Solaris env (s)?

Tks,
Joao

Tks for the reply!

I think I will go with the #1 as per the reasons you mentioned....

One last question, have you ever used the tool tcpreplay for the option #1? I had this one as the second choice after the ngrep...

No tcprelay experience, just know that you have to capture traffic first before you can use tcprelay to resend your capture.
