6.72.2 HTTP Analyzer Request/Response Area

As well as resizing the panes by grabbing the bars with the mouse and dragging them, you can quickly maximize and minimize the panes using the up and down arrows for the URL pane, and the left and right arrows for the Request and Response panes.

The elements available depend on the tab at the bottom of the HTTP Analyzer Test window:

SOAP Structure. Displays the SOAP structure of the data packet of a SOAP web service.
HTTP Content. The HTTP Analyzer tries to reformat the message and use code highlighting to make the message more readable, for example with JSON it will use JSON code hightlighting. It is commonly used for RESTful web services.
Hex Content. Displays the data as hex values.
Raw Message. Displays the pure data as text. This text does not wrap, and you may find it easier to copy the message and paste it into a text editor to examine it.
WADL Structure. The Web Application Description Language (WADL) is an XML-based file format that describes a RESTful web services application. More

Element	Description
URL	The URL of the service.
Method	(Not displayed for SOAP Structure tab or WADL Structure tab) Choose from the list of available methods for the Send Request operation: `OPTIONS`, for example, to show a WADL definition on a JAX-RS service `GET` to retrieve the content `HEAD` `POST` to send a parameter `PUT` to create new resource `DELETE` to delete a temporary resource `TRACE` `CONNECT` `MERGE` `PATCH` If you try to use a method which is not valid XML for the service you are examining a warning message is displayed.
WSDL URL	Displays the URL of the WSDL for the web service being tested.
Open WSDL	Click to open the Select Web Service Description dialog where you can enter, or browse to, the URL of a WSDL document describing the service you want to invoke.
