Soap request over tcpmon changes behaviour

Question

I am consuming a web service. I wrote a client with axis 1.4 using eclipse. I have access to webservices over ssl vpn. My axis client code works fine. However, code must be run on android device. I can not use axis code on android, because java rmi is not supported on android. I am trying to consume service with making httppost with apache httpclient library. In order to see axis request values, I used tcpmon. It helped me to write httppost code easily. The problem is that when I run code directly without using tcpmon it gives me the error below:

Exception in thread "main" java.net.SocketException: Invalid argument: setsockopt

If I send request over tcpmon it works. I get the response. I give you tcpmon output below:

Normally I expect tcpmon behaviour must be same with my local but tcpmon changes the result. What can be the reason ?

Answer 1

Very interestingly, instead of using apache httpclient or java urlconnection libraries , I wrote socket programming code for soap as in this example it worked. :)
