NetBeans HTTP Monitor question

[Jonck van der Kogel]

Hi,
I'm using the HTTP Monitor of NetBeans to test a servlet that I am
currently working on. What I am interested in seeing is the data and
headers being sent to the servlet. A client of my servlet will be
sending data in XML format as POST data in the request. The headers I
can see fine using the HTTP Monitor, I am having some problem with the
data however.
In the Request tab of the HTTP Monitor window it says the following:
"Data sent with this request was not parameterized". Could anyone tell
me what that means?

Thanks very much, Jonck

You might want to try using a tool such as WebScarab
(https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=64424&package_id=61823
) to observe exactly what your client and server are sending to each other.

Hi,
Thanks for the suggestion. I downloaded WebScarab and ran it, but it
was interfering with requests to my servlets. Normally when I approach
my servlet through a browser, the result is practically instantaneous.
With WebScarab running the page would not load and in WebScarab I
would get a very large number of requests scrolling through the bottom
window (while I only did one request).

So for some reason it's not working. Does anybody know what's going
wrong here, or even more preferably, how to get HTTP Monitor in
NetBeans working properly?

Thanks, Jonck

Hi Jonck,

I'm sorry to hear that you had problems using WebScarab. As the author
of WebScarab, I'd like to know exactly what happened, so that I can fix
the problem if possible.

The very bottom pane is a message log window, which could result in up
to 10 or so lines of output per request, depending on the log level. The
top pane is a tree view of your site, and the table is a representation
of the individual requests that WebScarab sees. You should only see a
single entry in the conversation table per request. If you got a large
number of requests, there is a bug somewhere, either in WebScarab
(repeatedly logging or submitting the original rquest), or in your own
code (maybe a redirect loop?)

I'm afraid that I don't know anything about the NetBeans monitor, so I
can't help you there.

Regards,

Rogan
