Abstract

A method of tracing data on a network for a Web request that detects events of the Web request as the Web request is serviced. The method provides a unique identifier (ID) for the Web request. The ID is associated with all events for the Web request in a trace log. When such events occur in the servicing of the Web request, each event is recorded with the ID of the Web request in a trace log. The trace log can be accessed via the ID to debug a Web request service failure.
