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

TracePlus®/Web Detective (Spirent 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 if the application uses the Microsoft WININET API).

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.

TracePlus®/Web Detective (Spirent Edition) has the essential features necessary to support the generation of URL scripts for use with the Spirent Avalanche series of Web capacity assessment appliances.
