What is TracePlus®/Web Detective (eBusiness Edition)?

TracePlus®/Web Detective (eBusiness Edition) builds upon the technology used in our TracePlus®/Web Detective (Standard Edition) product known as Cyclone Plus debugging technology that supports both HTTP and HTTPS protocols (HTTPS is available when using Internet Explorer, Netscape 8.x or higher, or FireFox 1.x or higher).

In addition the Cyclone Plus technology has the ability to intercept HTTP information in Windows applications without launching them from TracePlus®. This is a convenient feature to have when you are in a hurry.

Easily visualize the logical order of HTTP information

TracePlus assigns a session ID to all headers that were sent or received within a process on the same socket number. Then the Protocol View is sorted by the session ID. What happens is that all requests and responses will line up in pairs (except when the client makes more than one request simultaneously on the same socket. This way, you can easily understand the logical grouping of HTTP requests and responses.

How fast is your Web application?

The Web Detective (eBusiness Edition) provides performance analysis of the HTTP and HTTPS protocols in several ways:

• Each packet displayed includes the time it was decoded and the elapsed time from the request packet (for example, GET/Response).
• Each Web page displayed includes time that it was received, the total size of all objects for that page, the accumulated download time of the objects, and the calculated baud rate for the request.
• Each object downloaded for a specific Web page includes the time that it was received, the size of the object, the download time, and the baud rate.

TracePlus/Web Detective (eBusiness Edition) can unencrypt and display HTTPS traffic on encrypted SSL connections at any bit rate from 40 to 128 bits (Available when using Internet Explorer, Netscape 8.x or higher, or FireFox 1.x or higher).

TracePlus/Web Detective (eBusiness Edition) displays HTTP protocol information for SSL transactions if the application uses the Microsoft WININET API. This includes all versions of Internet Explorer starting from 4.0.

TracePlus/Web Detective (eBusiness Edition) displays HTTP protocol information for SSL transactions if the application uses the Open Source NSS v3.4 and NSPR v4 APIs. This includes Mozilla FireFox 1.x or higher, as well as Netscape Navigator 8.x or higher.
