What is the correct way to open a SOAPUI Dump File?

I am using SOAPUI and for one of my requests I set a dump file location. This works and a file is generated there.
The issue comes when I try to open the file. I have tried saving it as .txt, .pdf, and .png just for good measure.

If I save it as a .txt, when I open it all I see is gibberish.
When I save it as .pdf(.png does the same thing), I get an error when I try to open it saying it's either damaged or not the correct format.

Here is my dumpfile path C:/logfiles/log.pdf

What do I need to do to open this file and see the contents correctly?

  1. If you are using SOAP Request type, the response would in xml format. So, you can have the file extension as .xml as shown below in the image.
    On the extreme right side of the image, what you see is not gebbrish, may be you got that feeling because of &lt;, &gt;. Those are just <, > respectively.

    • It is a valid xml.
    • Try to open it in a browser and see, you would see the data correctly.
    • Or you may open it in your favorite text editor and replace those as respectively as mentioned above, but this is just for your visibility and dont make any difference to application that consume this xml even without replacing.

enter image description here

  1. If you are using REST Request type, the response can be either in .xml or .json. So, use the appropriate file extension accordingly.

Hope this is helpful.
