Access/Tracing Log for HTTP Listeners

It's sometimes hard to debug things like the SOAP input nodes when clients are behaving badly and the node is rejecting the request before it goes into the flow or to prove that somebody is or isn't reaching the server. For example, if a client leaves ?wsdl at the end of a URL when making a request that actually sends a SOAP message they might get back the WSDL instead of the intended SOAP reply, this doesn't register at the SOAP Input node or in the traces for HTTP listener. Another difficult one to debug is when an operation is not qualified with a namespace, broker sends a meaningful SOAP fault back but what would be nice is to capture what the client actually sent and highlight their error, you can do it with a sniffer but that's not always easy to setup in a secure environment.

    As part of our regular RFE review process, we note that this requirement is still on our radar. Enhancements were made to IIBv10 HTTP listener tracing using Tomcat Access Log capabilities, but the move with ACEv11 to a C-based library implementation means that this remains on our list of potential future enhancements. Status remains currently as Uncommitted Candidate.

    Thanks; we want to make it as easy as possible to debug solutions on IIB, and having better tracing for the HTTP listeners will help with this. Thanks for raising.
