Looking to capture traffic on a range of ports...

[robgomes]

I'll keep it brief.

* I've never done web service development in my life, and outside of
this instance, will probably not do it again for years. I'm a SQL
developer, not a traditional web developer or app developer.
* I have a web service that connects to a remote endpoint on port 80,
but the local endpoint is undefined. So the local endpoint is going
to use ephemeral TCP/IP ports 1024-5000.
* I need to capture all of this traffic going to the web service.
Right now I am unable to set up the web service in my development
environment -- it runs on a dedicated server.

With that being said, how can I use Fiddler to capture the traffic on
my box going from that range of ports, to http://webservicebox:80/ ?

Thanks in advance.

Fiddler doesn't work like that. Fiddler captures all of the traffic
to http://webservicebox:80, from ANY port on your machine.

You need your local code to use Fiddler as a proxy, which every web
service client stack can be configured to do. See, for instance,
http://www.fiddler2.com/fiddler/help/hookup.asp#Q-DOTNET1-1
