In one of my previous posts, I introduced the TIBCO Spotfire HTTP client. One of the nicest features of this client is that it integrates very well with Fiddler, a tracing tool that is able to capture all network connections to and from an application. I highly recommend anyone writing Spotfire extensions that uses network communication to check out this tool. All you have to do to is to run it and it will immediately start capturing the traffic between Spotfire and the Intranet or Internet.

Here is a screenshot of Fiddler in action. In the left panel you see all outbound requests from Spotfire and to the right is a Gantt chart view of the same requests along a timeline.
