Autoresponder and regex

[Thomas]

Hello,

I'm using Fiddler 4.4.9.6 and I'm trying to make the autoresponder use a file as a response with a regex rule.
The regex part is ok but it sends back a 403 error when using full URLs and local files.
The only way I can make it work is by using a relative URL and that's because it automatically adds a forward slash (/) to the response.

So:

- http://www.example.com doesn't work
- C:/mystuff/stuff.json doesn't work
- relativeurl/stuff.json does work

Any ideas?
Thanks!

Hello, Thomas--

Can you please provide the full rule (both the "If request matches..." and "then respond with" columns)? You can copy these by selecting the rule in the list and hitting CTRL+C to copy them to your clipboard.

My guess (based only on past errors) is that you've written a regular expression that does not fully encompass the URL, and thus the resulting filename is invalid.

Huh, you're right, that was it!

I had just specified :

urlmethod.*type=param$

instead of

.*urlmethod.*type=param$

Thanks :)
