In conjunction with a post that I made a few days past, I've embraced another web debugging tool. A few days ago I mentioned the Internet Explorer Developer Toolbar. Well, a developer at Microsoft by the name of Nikhil Kothari has created a very cool component that sits inside your browser window and monitors all HTTP/S traffic that flows within that browser session. Unlike other HTTP debugging proxy tools that I use (such as Fiddler) which monitor all HTTP traffic on the box, the Nikhil's Web Dev Helper tool isolates traffic filtering to the IE browser instance in question so it's pretty nice.
NOTE: The tool does require the .NET Framework 2.0 Beta 2. I didn't realize that at first (that goes to show how well I read instructions) so when I was trying to GAC-register the .dll using v1.1 GACUTIL it was failing. Once installed (which is incredibly painless) it appears as an option in the IE Tools menu.
Very cool! Thanks Nikhil!
