Hi,
 
Are there any open-source / commercial tools available
for inspection /
modification of 
SOAP traffic to perform audits on its security?
I am thinking of a local proxy-like program through which
SOAP traffic
is channeled 
by e.g. modifying localhost : redirect traffic destined
for target.com
to 127.0.0.1
The tool would allow for changing the SOAP content both
in the
request/reply.
I imagine that this only makes sense if the SOAP goes
over HTTP, HTTPS
protects against sniffing.
 
I know there are commercial tools available to scan a
SOAP server on
vulnerabilities, such as

*     ScanDo (Kavado)
*     AppScan (Sanctum, now WatchFire)

How good are these in finding problems with SOAP calls?
Are there open-source equivalents?
 
Thank you,
 
Kind regards,
 
Sebastien
