Sometimes you need to understand
precisely how the
HTTP request is submitted to the
server.
If you're working with
Salesforce.com,
you probably don't have easy or intuitive tools to understand how a message is
serialized and sent by the runtime to the
server.
I've put togheter this little script that allows you to draw all
HTTP requests to a file.
Becomes so much easier to verify the output sent to a
web service.
<?php
$myFile = "requestslog.txt";
$fh = fopen($myFile, 'a') or die("can't open file");
fwrite($fh, "\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------\n");
foreach($_SERVER as $h=>$v)
if(ereg('HTTP_(.+)',$h,$hp))
fwrite($fh, "$h = $v\n");
fwrite($fh, "\r\n");
fwrite($fh, file_get_contents('php://input'));
fclose($fh);
echo "<html><head /><body><iframe src=\"$myFile\" style=\"height:100%; width:100%;\"></iframe></body></html>"
?>
This applies to all requests that travel with the
HTTP protocol, even
SOAP for instance.
