Does FME have an option to show where network calls are going when a reader is used?

I am trying to connect to a salesforce account with the Salesforce reader. I keep getting an HTTP/FTP error "Could not connect to the server". I assume this is a proxy error where the reader is being blocked by my organization's firewall. To fix it, I would need to submit a Port Open Request to allow the traffic inside my organization. But I have no idea which port or URLs FME is trying to hit with the Salesforce reader. Is there a tool inside of fme that would allow me to see where FME is getting hung up? Or something outside of FME to look at that information?

Try enabling the Debug log and see if that details the url its trying to hit

If that doesn't provide what you need, you can look at setting up Fiddler to inspect your http traffic in and out of FME. This post may provide some more details into setting it up

And if that doesn't work, I'd consider third-party tools such as Fiddler or Wireshark, which will let you know what happens on a more fundamental level.
