XK72 | Java and Adobe Flash Software

Thanks for your feedback on the previous beta versions. I’ve added a few things to the latest beta, and I’m hoping this is the last (or at least second to last) before release.

The recent additions are:

SOAP support. SOAP messages were always viewable as pretty-printed XML, or now as an XML tree; finally Charles presents a higher level view of SOAP messages in the same RPC format as for AMF (request and response on the same screen). I’d appreciate some feedback from developers who do SOAP development!

JSON-RPC support. Extending the JSON support already in the 2.6 betas with support for JSON-RPC. This provides an enhanced view (request and response on the same screen) for people using JSON-RPC.

Info column in sequence view. The info column gives a brief preview of what is in the request/response. For images it shows the dimensions; for SWFs it shows the dimensions, version and fps; for AMF/Flash Remoting and JSON-RPC it shows the method names. This lets you find the requests you’re looking for faster.

The info column will be expanding in the next release of Charles to support more types. Also I think a similar facility can be added to the structure view when it’s in wide mode.

Please let me know if you discover any problems or if you have any suggestions.
