Analyze Adobe Campaign SOAP requests with Fiddler

The Adobe Console Client communicates with the Adobe Application Server with SOAP calls only. As the SOAP protocol relies on HTTP/HTTPS, we’re able to intercept requests & responses via Fiddler.

🔍💻💡

Installation

• Get Fiddler from https://www.telerik.com/download/fiddler
• Say your instance URL is https://mkt-stage1.campaign.adobe.com
• Create a new Connection named Fiddler with the instance URL set to https://myinstance
• 
• Open Fiddler, got to Rule > Customize Rules, it will open the Fiddler Script Editor
• Look for static function OnBeforeRequest(oSession: Session){
• Add the following code, just after the opening curly bracket {:

  static function OnBeforeRequest(oSession: Session){
  if (oSession.HostnameIs("MYINSTANCE")) {
    oSession.host = "mkt-stage1.campaign.adobe.com:443"; // use 80 for HTTP, 443 for HTTPS or 8080 for Tomcat
  }
  // rest of the code
  

• 
• Enable HTTPS in Fiddler in Tools > Fiddler Options > HTTPS > Decrypt HTTPS
• 

Usage

Browse to different folders, workflows or schemas from your console, and check Fiddler:

• Example of a xtk:folder LoadChildrenWithPath SOAP call (JSAPI for LoadChildrenWithPath):
• 
• Example of a xtk:queryDef ExecuteQuery SOAP call (JSAPI for ExecuteQuery):
•
