How Do I Inspect the XML sent from OpenX?

Question

I'm trying to get Flex and OpenX working together. I can get the ads to work when I view the site on a Mac using Firefox or Safari. But, if I use a PC with IE, I get error #1090 which is an XML parser failure.

Apparently, there is malformed XML. How do I check the XML that OpenX produces? What's the best way to find the nasty node?

Thank you.

Answer 1

If OpenX talks over HTTP, I highly recommend Fiddler or another HTTP debugging proxy for debugging communications.

Answer 2

You might also try downloading the beta of Flex 4 which includes a Network Monitor - http://anirudhs.chaosnet.org/blog/2009.06.01.html

Answer 3

I would use tcpdump or wireshark to capture the data and dump the information.

Answer 4

I went with ServiceCapture http://kevinlangdon.com/serviceCapture/.

It's pretty simple to use.
