Questions tagged [fiddler]

Fiddler (aka "Fiddler classic") is a free .net based web debugging proxy for Windows, which allows you to log, examine, modify and replay HTTP/HTTPS traffic from your computer.

The tool shows an overview of HTTP(S) requests and details about the selected request(s) - see the screenshot below.

It allows you to inspect both the request and response, filter data that are (un)interesting, as well as modify (by script or manually) and/or replay chosen requests. The request/response list can be also saved and loaded.

Fiddler Classic has been superseded by the commercial non-free software Fiddler-Everywhere.

Fiddler is also available as a .NET library, FiddlerCore, and as a capture-only FiddlerCap tool (useful, for example, for collecting debug traffic data from customers).

Fiddler Classic is a free-to-use tool; requires MS Windows XP or later and Microsoft .NET Framework v4.0 or later. Download page here
