Hi Anshu,

Fiddler has an AutoSave tab. I believe that this is what you are looking for. To show the AutoSave tab click on the View\Tabs\AutoSave menu.

You can configure automatic saves to take place at an interval ranging from 1 minute to 12 hours. Check the Automatically save capture files box to enable the timer, which will be displayed to the right.

Check the Save Headers Only box if you only wish to preserve the request and response headers in the SAZ file; this option can be useful for minimizing the size of the archive if only headers are needed.

Click the Target Folder link to display a folder picker dialog box. Click the Open button to open Windows Explorer to the specified folder.

The Log box at the bottom of the screen stores information about saved files.

After the SAZ file is saved, the saved Sessions are removed from the Web Sessions list and a garbage collection operation is initiated to reclaim as much memory as possible.

You could find out more on how to utilize the full power of Fiddler in The Fiddler Book.

Hi Anshu,

You could achieve this with the FiddlerScript. I managed to write a quick code sample with the C# script which you could tailor according to your needs:

using System.IO;

...

namespace Fiddler
{
    public static class Handlers
    {
        private static readonly Timer timer = new Timer();

        ...

        public static void Main()
        {
            ...
            InitializeAutoSave();
        }

        private static void InitializeAutoSave()
        {
            timer.Tick += timer_Tick;
            timer.Interval = 5000;
            timer.Start();
        }

        private static void timer_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
             Session[] allSessions = FiddlerApplication.UI.GetAllSessions();

             if (allSessions.Length == 0) return;

             List<Session> completedSessions = new List<Session>();
             foreach (Session session in allSessions)
             {
                 if (session.state < SessionStates.Done) continue;

                 completedSessions.Add(session);
             }

             if (completedSessions.Count ==0) return;

             string filename = @"\path\to\sessions.txt";

             if (!File.Exists(filename)) File.Create(filename);

             using (FileStream fs = new FileStream(filename, FileMode.Truncate, FileAccess.Write))
             {
                 foreach (Session session in completedSessions)
                 {
                     session.WriteToStream(fs, false);
                 }
             }

            FiddlerApplication.UI.actRemoveRange(completedSessions);
        }
