Currently, the HTTP monitor just monitors GET requests. It would be very useful ce if it supportted other requests as well (specially POST). I can see at least 2 valid cases where that kind of monitoring is useful: - when a 'normal' web application requisition is passed through POST - on Web Services calls, where it's necessary to check the generated SOAP messages. A third (although more sofisticated) case would be intercepting binary stuff passed on multipart requests.
I think that actual HTTP Server monitor is totally useless for debugging web services without possibility to show body content of request and response. Netbeans has show great support SOAP and REST WS and can't debuging them :-(
Created attachment 94776 [details] How it works in Eclipse, much better :-(
