I'm trying to automate access to a website that get reports from a Microsoft-IIS/6.0 server, or at least I assume that because that is what is appearing in the HTTP Headers. So if the website connects this server, does it download the file via FTP? Is there any way that I can find out the commands being sent form my browser?
The weird thing about the website is that it uses Crystal Report ActiveX viewer, is that client side, is there any way that I can control the viewer through PERL?
Also, this might be a really dumb question, but does IIS use SQL/MySQL?
Any help is appreciated!
There are a lot of ways to watch the traffic being sent between your browser and the server.
http://www.fiddler2.com/fiddler2/
Firebug for firefox
Chrome has it built in by hitting ctrl+shift+i
http://projects.nikhilk.net/WebDevHelper for IE
F12 in IE will show developer tools (look under network tab)
http://www.wireshark.org/ for watching any network traffic from any application

Is it possible to view the network traffic (http requests, raw http etc.) similar to chrome dev tools (network tab) generated by an application (nodejs if it makes any difference) via vscode?
This functionality is already present, but it doesn't show the requests and responses of the application running.
The developer tools are connected to the running instance of Code and not the application you are executing. Currently it is not possible to view network traffic for the application you are launching from Code.
You can try to start from mbehr1.vsc-webshark plugin and use WireShark tools for catching your app network i/o.
It would be great a more detailed post about configuring launching Rust app (server) in debug mode, wireshark with VSCode integrated UI, and maybe internal browser in a single launch.json action, but I can't point anything close to it.
I have a Facebook canvas app that calls various external files over https. When loading FB over http and then navigating to the app, I get the message "Internet Explorer blocked this website from displaying content with security certificate errors."
I realize there could be any number of culprits in a mixed environment, but how to best troubleshoot the specific request(s) that trigger the error? The IE dev tools don't provide a clue, as the error is not reported in the network or console tab. When I view the same page in Chrome, I get no SSL error, so I can't find a clue there.
Essentially what I've done so far is to proceed by clicking "show content", logging all the https requests in Charles, then trying them all individually in IE to see if any trigger the error out of context.
thanks
The F12 Tools Console typically will show the exact source of a HTTPS error, as will the Fiddler Web Debugger. Is there a repro URL we could look at?
Do you have fiddler or httpwatch to figure out whether the request is being forwarded to another secured (https) URL?
I need to show to a user an interface of some application running on a server using a browser. It should be like RDP-client for a single application on a server.
Are there any solutions or services that can implement following functionality? Maybe Citrix?
Thanks in advance!

About FreeRDP-WebConnect
FreeRDP-WebConnect is an open source gateway for accessing RDP
sessions using any HTML5 compliant browser. In particular it relies on
the Canvas and the WebSockets feature. FreeRDP-WebConnect is a
subproject of the FreeRDP project.
On the server side, a standalone daemon - written in C++ - provides a
Web page via HTTPS (or HTTP, if configured) and uses FreeRDP libs to
connect as a client to any RDP session. The server side WebSockets
implementation handles current RFC6455 only, so browsers that
implement the older drafts do not work. With RFC6455 being raised to
the "Proposed Standard" level, this should change now really soon.
I would create an account on the server for the user, and only give it access to the one application it needs access to.
You can use Cameyo. To start, create yourself a free account, and click on "Add App". If your installer supports unattended installation, you simply need to submit it. Otherwise, you can build a Cameyo package locally and send it in. It will then be playable as HTML5.
You don't indicate what server you are running on.
As an alternative to FreeRDP-Webconnect cited above, also open source and also using FreeRDP as rdp client through an HTTP gateway, there is Myrtille.
FreeRDP-WebConnect embeds a standalone daemon written in C++ to provide a web page via HTTP(S), and so will also work on Linux servers, while Myrtille have a IIS/.NET (C#) implementation and an MSI installer, thus is more intended for Windows Servers.
I need to be able to look at and describe the client and server communication between my browser and the Google server.
I have downloaded net-tools but can't specifically see the communication, I've tried Wireshark but this brings too many things into it.
How can I see the communication and describe it using some sort of a web debugger tool?
You can use the network tab in Chromes developer tools or in Firebug for Firefox to see all request that are sent to a server. You could also use Fiddler.
A Googler just did this for you:

i am only start learning GWT by following their tutorial on https://developers.google.com/web-toolkit/doc/2.1/tutorial/create
On that page, when i reach the heading Running the development mode code server (from Eclipse), i copied the generated url http://127.0.0.1:8888/StockWatcher.html?gwt.codesvr=127.0.0.1:9997 to my browser.
It eventually times out, says page not loading...the plugin page did not show up initially, so i manually installed the plugin...but it still times out...
On the screen, it says...

Am i missing any configurations etc?
Thanks very much in advance
It still looks like your browser is missing the GWT developer plugin. Try a different browser (preferably Chrome). You can also check the instalation of GWT in Eclipse. Look into Windows/Preferences and under Google/WebToolkit you should see checked GWT SDK. Also you can check if a jetty server runs on port 8888, when you type "netstat -na" on the command line.
