Hello all,
 
I have a SOAP client application that attempts to invoke a method from a remote web service, but the communication fails as a CORBA exception is thrown.
 
I'm trying to use WireShark to obtain the XML trace that is sent to the server to verify whether its formatted in an appropriate manner or not (review the encoding type, namespace, etc). My intention is to get this kind of information:
 
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:soapenc="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:tns="http://tempuri.org/" xmlns:types="http://tempuri.org/encodedTypes" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"><soap:Body soap:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"><tns:HelloWorld><name xsi:type="xsd:string">John</name></tns:HelloWorld></soap:Body></soap:Envelope>
 
---------------------
 
>From what I understand this is possible with WireShark using "Follow TCP stream" but I just can't find it anywhere. Instead I only get this information:

What do I need to do to get the whole XML envelope and body information?
 
I'm using the latest version of the software available: version 0.99.6a.
 
Any help is highly appreciated!
 
Thanks!
