I've just installed the latest WS 2.01, I'm on a laptop, I'm not really sure about the network interfaces, there seem to be many more listed than I can physically see + one called 'WifFi' - anyway I think I am selecting them all....I can see lots of http traffic, but when I make a WCF call (using BasicHTTPBinding) the call is going and coming back (i.e. i can see the calling app is updating the backend), BUT nothing showing in Wireshark....what might I be doing wrong? asked 31 Dec '15, 07:43  bertie |
One Answer:
Is the WCF call to a server on the local machine? If so, WinPCap (the capture mechanism used by Wireshark on Windows) will not see that traffic. To capture "loopback" traffic see the wiki page for Loopback Capture setup. answered 31 Dec '15, 08:53  grahamb ♦ |
I'm ashamed to say I think you might have been right! By mistake I was using the wrong config with localhost in - I can see traffic now. I know its slightly off topic, but it is what i'm trying to diag when I got stuck, I'm trying to call the WCF from within an emulator (WinPhone 8.1), and I'm getting nothing thru wireshark, I have a nasty suspicion that its nothing to do with wireshark, but is there any way with WS to see why the call is ending nowhere? (I can see browser traffic thru wireshark from the emulator)
Can you describe your setup in a bit more detail?
