Socket Workbench is the definitive tool for analysing socket communications that underlie the Internet and several types of inter-process communication. Configure Socket Workbench to be a socket client (like a web browser or e-mail client) or a socket server with ease. You can send data through a socket and analyse that data that has been received. Also, Socket Workbench has the unique "Pass Through Mode" which allows the interception of socket communications between a client and its server without packet sniffing.

Features include:

• Allows the analysis of the E-mail, HTTP, Time Of Day, FTP and any other socket based communication protocol including real-time and client-server applications.
  
• Configure Socket Workbench to be a socket client or a socket server.
• Allows any number of clients to connect while in Server mode.
• Intercept and analyse socket communications using the Pass-Through mode.
• Includes a library of the well-known socket port numbers and servers.
• Author and send e-mails using the e-mail protocol template.
• Contains a library of HTTP requests from the popular Web Browsers and the HTTP Responses from Web Servers.
• Ideal for testing and monitoring real-time applications or two/three/n-tier client-server applications.
• All socket state transitions and Socket Workbench events can be logged.
• Data can be analysed using a raw, binary, octal, decimal or hexadecimal format.

• Incoming and outgoing data can be logged with an optional time stamp.
  
• Contains 7 pre-defined configurations to get under way as soon as possible.
• Incoming data can be filtered.
• Schedule data to be sent at regular intervals.
• Data can be split in to messages and messages can be split into fields.
• Allows the stress testing of socket client and servers.
• Data sent through the socket can be "linked" to a file. When the contents of the file changes, the data is automatically re-read and transmitted.
