C# WCF Endpoint Response Stream

I have an endpoint that connects to SQL and returns a result set to the client. The WCF Service sets the MaxReceivedMessageSize to a low value and therefore the endpoint does not return a result set.

I fixed the issue by increasing the MaxReceivedMessageSize value. However, I need to see just how much data is coming from the endpoint to the client.

I tried using Postman but that's not working. What's the best way to capture what the endpoint is returning to the client?

Thank you

Solution

  • You can inspect or modify the incoming or outgoing messages across a WCF client by implementing a System.ServiceModel.Dispatcher.IClientMessageInspector and inserting it into the client runtime.

    Inspect messages not only implements the inspector on the client side, but also manipulates the endpoint behavior.
