<H1>tcpTrace</h1>
I got fed up with installing Java & <a href="http://xml.apache.org/soap">Apache SOAP</a> just to get tcpTunnelGUI, so here's a native Win32 version,
built using <a href="http://www.sellsbrothers.com/attila">Attila</a> (no MFC :) ). It started out as a copy of the Apache tool, but has taken on a life
of its own!.
<H2>Huh, it does what ?</h2>
Basically you use it as a tunnel between your client & server.
Start tcptrace.exe and up comes a dialog box asking for local port #,
destination server, and destination port # (Ignore the logging options for now) . Fill these in, click Ok,
and wow are you going to have fun. For example if you are writing a client
and testing against a remote server
(say <a href="http://www.razorsoft.net">www.razorsoft.net</a> ), you can setup<BR>
<PRE>Local Port # 8080
Destination Server www.razorsoft.net
Destination Port # 80</pre>
Now configure your client so that it thinks the server is at
localhost:8080. tcpTrace will forward all the traffic from
localport:8080 to the remote server (and vica versa), dumping the
contents in the process. If you are hosting a server say on port 80
and want to use it, then change your server to run on port 81, and setup<BR>
<PRE>Local Port # 80
Destination Server localhost
Destination Port # 81
</pre>
you can now see your incoming traffic.<BR><BR>
It should work with all the text based IP protocols, I've been using
it with SOAP (port 80) & HTTP (port 80), and I know Peter Drayton has been using it with
POP3 (port 110) & SMTP (port 25)<BR><BR>
<BR><H2>Command Line Options</h2>
If you prefer to set-up a tcpTrace session via a command line rather than via the GUI, then there are the following command line options
<UL>
<LI>/listen <port> : specifies the local port to listen on.
<LI>/serverPort <port> : specifies the destination port to forward traffic to.
<LI>/serverName <servername> : specifies the destination server to forward traffic to.
<LI>/log <log filename> : enables logging to the specified file.
<LI>/logFormat <xml | plain> : specifies the logfile format (when logging is enabled) use xml or plain (plain is default).
<LI>/title <window title> : this overrides the default tcpTrace window title, is useful if you regularly run multiple instances of tcpTrace.
<LI>/kill : stops all running instances of tcpTrace and exits. this can be useful for batch based testing.
</UL>
e.g. <BR>
tcptrace /listen 8080 /serverPort 80 /serverName services2.xmethods.net<BR>
tcptrace /listen 8081 /serverPort 80 /serverName soap.4s4c.com /log c:\log.xml /logFormat xml<br>
tcptrace /listen 5049 /serverPort 5049 /serverName nagoya.apache.org /title "Apache Server"
<BR><BR>
If you're doing pure SOAP/HTTP work, you'll want to take a look at <a href="http://www.pocketsoap.com/tcptrace/pt.asp">proxyTrace</a> as well.<BR><BR>

<UL>
<LI>Peter Drayton for badgering me into writing the logging support.
<LI>Matt Humphrey for spotting and fixing a problem with large payloads and the socket shutdown sequence.
<LI>Steve Witham for fixing my terrible docs, any errors are of course still mine.
<LI>Everyone who made suggestions for new features.
