Is there a way to display or log verbose communication DURING a remote service call with flex? In particular is there a way to get very detailed information about the service call while it is happening. Kind of like tracing HTTP headers from a command line. Basically, getting insight into the server transaction before the result or fault events occur?
I am assuming there must be a convenient way to expose stuff like IP addresses, DNS lookups, number of hops, latency, HTTP headers, AMF data as it is coming over the wire, etc.
Charles is a must have.
You can put TraceTarget in you main mx:Application and get a lot of data back from most of the remoting classes in Flex:
It sets your app as the logging target and traces to the console.
Read your comment, if you want an interesting non-debug way to display data, Arthropod is a cool AIR ‘console’ that you can trace out to.
