How to send Custom object a s parameter in Fiddler

[Vishal]

Hi,

I am fairly new to Fiddler and I am stuck in a issue.

I have a WCF service which has a Upload File Method which takes a Custom object

  [DataContract]
    public class UploadFile
    {
        [DataMember]
        public Stream fileStream { get; set; }
        
        [DataMember]
        public string serverName { get; set; }
        
        [DataMember]
        public string accessPoint { get; set; }

        [DataMember]
        public string resourcePath { get; set; }
    }

and this is the WCF method Definition

[WebInvoke(ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json, Method = "POST", UriTemplate = "FileName", BodyStyle = WebMessageBodyStyle.Bare)]
        [OperationContract]
        [FaultContract(typeof(Errors))]
        void FileUpload(UploadFile uploadFile);


How do i test this in fiddler?

Thanks

Hi, Vishal--

That entirely depends on what you mean by "test this." 

Typically, you use Fiddler to capture (and potentially modify) traffic between a client and the server. In other cases, you might use the Composer tab to generate a new HTTP request directly and send it to the server, using Fiddler's Inspectors to analyze the server's response.

Perhaps you're asking: "What content do I need to add to the Composer tab to issue a request that matches the target API"-- Unfortunately, that's really a question about WCF and not about Fiddler. The simplest approach would be to simply generate a client which talks to this service and use Fiddler to capture its traffic. You can then drag/drop such a request from Fiddler's Web Sessions list to the Composer to clone it and optionally modify it before resending.
