Re: SOAP Debugger - a simple, generic SOAP client

Hi,

I was looking for same kind tools but didn't end with anything useful,
so may be this is a first. But there always is trade off when use
existing API to fuzz which may not give you enough control to build
the sort of malformed messages you need. So I manual built envelope,
header,body, even xml etc. using Commons HTTPClient or Python httplib
with some success!
