ServiceCapture

ServiceCapture, developed by Kevin Langdon, is currently available in its latest version 2.0.19, supporting Windows XP, and 7. This Development Tools category application falls under the subcategory of Debugging Tools. It effectively captures all HTTP traffic from browsers or IDEs, making it an indispensable tool for developers working with Rich Internet Applications (RIA).

Primarily, ServiceCapture aids developers in debugging, analysis, and testing their applications by capturing and displaying all HTTP traffic, including Flash Remoting or AMF traffic, in a manageable and user-friendly interface. This feature is unique to ServiceCapture and particularly beneficial for those involved in RIA development. Additionally, it now supports deserialization of both SOAP and JSON-RPC traffic into easily navigable object trees.
