In Fiddler I have many responses which I like to view raw. For each one Fiddler says "Response is encoded and may need to be decoded before inspection. Click here to transform."

I want not only the current one, but all responses to always be transformed. Anyone know how to set this? Rules->Remove all encodings does not do the trick.

If the goal is to remove compression during the processing of a session:

  1. That's what the "Decode" button on the toolbar does.
  2. That's also what Rules menu > "Remove all encodings" does.

Auto decode

If the goal is to remove the encoding after session processing is complete, select all of the sessions (CTRL+A) and use "Decode Selected Sessions" on the Web Sessions list's context menu.

It's very easy. Just click the "Decode" button on Fiddler's toolbar.

  • This is the original answer. Basically, the solution provided by @EricLaw does not automatically decode all responses, you have to manually select responses and click on decode but the solution provided by Tank Xiao will automatically deocde all responses moving forward without manual intervention. – mdowes Jul 08 '19 at 07:12

    Both answers look identical to me except @EricLaw provided two ways to get to that option. – LWC Dec 27 '19 at 22:43
  • Is there a way to configure Fiddler to do this automatically instead of clicking it for each message? – Bill Casey Feb 15 '22 at 16:10
