Fiddler Download – Web Debugging Proxy Tool For Windows 202.2.0

Fiddler allows you to inspect traffic, set breakpoints, and “fiddle” with incoming or outgoing data. It includes a powerful event-based scripting subsystem and can be extended using any .NET language.

This is freeware and can debug traffic from virtually any application that supports a proxy, including Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Apple Safari, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, and thousands more. You can also debug traffic from popular devices like Windows Phone, iPod/iPad, and others.

It helps you debug web applications by capturing network traffic between the Internet and test computers. The tool enables you to inspect incoming and outgoing data to monitor and modify requests and responses before the browser receives them. Fiddler also includes a powerful event-based scripting subsystem, which you can extend by using any .NET Framework language.

On one hand, Fiddler can record incoming and outgoing data and on the other hand, it can also be used to ‘fiddle’ (tamper or better said, interfere) with traffic as it is being transmitted. Designed as a web debugger and a proxy server, Fiddler serves in logging data from any application that supports proxy use, such as web browsers, as well as traffic from modern devices such as iPhone and iPad.

Fiddler and the HTTP replay options can help you troubleshoot client-side issues with web applications by making an offline copy of the test site. With these tools, you can create offline images of the browsing experience and then package and analyze the results to obtain more detailed debug information.

To download the Fiddler add-on, go to the Internet Explorer add-ons page. For more information about how to troubleshoot by using Fiddler and related tools, see the How to use fiddler and HTTP replay to have an offline copy of your site blog post and the Troubleshooting Authentication with Fiddler blog post.

The user interface may seem overcrowded at first, but this is due to the large amount of information it aims to offer. A second glance leaves you with the impression that it’s well-organized and easy to navigate through.

By default, the capturing feature is enabled, and leaving it on will populate the reports instantly. It might be a good idea to turn it off until you set some filters, which is a must if you wish to reduce the reports to certain points of interest.

Statistics include performance parameters such as response times and amount of transmitted data (in bytes), while the Inspector comprises a variety of traffic details regarding Headers, Cookies, JSON, XML, etc. In addition, you can launch multiple instances at the same time and you can save the sessions for later use.
