Is there any way in .NET to programmatically listen to HTTP traffic?

I'm using browser automation for testing web sites but I need to verify HTTP requests from the browser (i.e., images, external scripts, XmlHttpRequest objects). Is there a way to programmatically instantiate a proxy or packet sniffer for the browser to use in order to see what its sending?

I'm already using Fiddler to watch the traffic but I want something that's UI-less that I can use in continuous build integration.

Can I easily get the HTTP-specific information from WinpCap?

Solution

  • Try winpcap . It's a driver/library combination which can be used to monitor packets. Based on what you are trying to do (watch traffic w/o a UI), this is probably a simpler solution than writing your own proxy.
