The TracePlus Web Detective (Standard Edition) spies on the HTTP protocol which the Web browser uses to communicate with the Web server, and displays it in an easy to understand format. HTTP protocol help is provided by a Windows help file which is hyperlinked to the Web Detective.

TracePlus Web Detective (Standard Edition) incorporates the same technology used in our TracePlus/Winsock 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).

Moreover, 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 (Standard Edition) 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.
