Web Service traffic capture

in NAV Three Tier
When I write code in .NET to consume a web service (3rd party - not NAV) I use a utility called "Fiddler" from Telrik to examine the traffic. It makes it easy to see the request and responses. When I try to use that same utility and run it between NAV (leveraging System.Reflexion based code) and the same 3rd party services, I get nothing. Does anyone have any experience with a utility to "see" the traffic?

    Where did you try to capture the traffic? You might have to do it on the machine the middle tier is running on, or make the .NET code run on the client.

    Good point. In the past, I've used a VM where the service tier and client run on the same machine. I tried launching on the service tier also in my current environment (which has different VMs for ST and Client) and the traffic doesn't show up on either. My next stop is something like Wire Shark... but Fiddler is so much easier.
