Hi, we have some issues with a client-server based application and we would like to better understand client-server comunication without going to the software company that sold the application. At least we would like to perform the analysis in parallel.

Can you suggest to me a dummy proof application that we can easily get and install to analise client-server traffic?

Many thanks!
