Lucid Edge launches Illumination, a powerful tool for web and SOAP developers

Lucid Edge, a Boston MA company, launches Illumination, a powerful tool for viewing HTTP and SOAP protocols, helping developers become more productive.

BOSTON, MA (PRWEB) August 13, 2004 -- As development increasingly becomes web centric, its important to have the right tools for getting the job done. To this end, Lucid Edge has released Illumination, a powerful tool that provides developers the ability to view and modify HTTP and SOAP transactions.

Acting as a visual network proxy server, Lucid Edge allows users to view transactions from multiple applications and multiple machines. Unlike other tools it does not require special network drivers or the use of Microsoft Internet Explorer. It works for any HTTP protocol and provides a simple and easy to interface and will interoperate with any web browser or web enabled application.

Because Illumination acts as a proxy server, it easily captures all wanted traffic without missing important data and without over capturing. Other tools will either capture too much (low level protocol sniffer applications) or too little (Microsoft IE plug-ins). A flexible filter enables end users to quickly isolate data for display.

Illumination also provides a potent toolset for testing web and SOAP applications. Replay transactions, simulate dropped and delayed packets, and more.

Founded in 2001, Lucid Edge creates tools and applications that enable scalable networks. Lucid Edge products include Sentry, which provides intuitive server and network monitoring; and Illumination a powerful HTTP and SOAP transaction viewer. Lucid Edge is located in Boston Massachusetts.
