Method and system for a debugging utility based on a TCP tunnel

摘要

A software development and debugging tool is based upon a TCP (Transport Control Protocol) tunnel. The TCP tunnel operates independently without a requirement of pre-configuring a client application or a server application to interoperate with the TCP-tunnel-based debugging utility. Various content-related tests can be performed by modifying the client-generated request messages at the TCP tunnel. Various timing-related tests can be performed by delaying the client-generated requests and/or server-generated responses at the TCP tunnel.
