C# Fiddler (oSession does not exist) error

I reviewed the content on this link. I added the nuget library. Why can't I use these codes? When using it with C #, I get an error as I mentioned in the appendix. "'oSession' does not exist in the current context" What is the cause of this error? I cannot use any code related to Fiddler. What causes the oSession error? I want to work on FiddlerCore, but I couldn't find a solution for this error.

Hello,

You can use the session object in any of the session events, for example BeforeRequest and BeforeResponse as shown in FiddlerCore's documentation. Keep in mind your FiddlerCore trial is 30 days and after that you'll have to purchase a license in order to continue using the product.
The article you've found is not about FiddlerCore, it is about Fiddler Classic,  where you can use FiddlerScript to modify the request and response.

Thanks, I know it will be bought. I'm trying to test and try something before buying. However, I could not do anything.

How can I change the response value of a URL in C #? There is no sample source code for this. I'm trying all those codes are working incorrectly. Is there a document that works properly?

I will be coding with C # in Visual studio platform. This requires a properly working example.

Hello,

In order to modify the reponse, you need to ensure the session is set to buffered mode. This should be done in some of the early events of the response, for example the ResponseHeadersAvailable, where you can grab the session object and set bBufferResponse property to true. If the property is not set to true, in the BeforeResponse event you'll receive a copy of the response, while it will be streamed to the client as well. So your modifications will not be applied to the response that the client will receive.

After that, you can handle the BeforeResponse event and modify the session's response as per your requirements.

To demonstrate how to achieve this, I've prepared a sample project, which you can find as an attachment. When you run it, it will ask you to trust the root certificate, please do so. After that, in the Console you'll see that the proxy is set. Now you can open https://yahoo.com in your browser and you shouldn't see the actual page, but a modified response. Now you can get back to the Console app and press Enter - this will remove the already set system proxy and exit the application.

Hope this helps.

For example, when I go to https://www.yahoo.com/fiddler_hello, I get a 404 error result. How can I change the response result even though this page has 404 errors?

So if a page gives 404 errors, the application does not change it. How can I get the response I want when I enter https://www.yahoo.com/fiddler_hello even though the page gives a 404 error?

Hello,

 

You could use the BeforeResponse event to modify the status codes and headers. I've created this basic example to demonstrate how to change the status code from 404 to 200. You will notice that when capturing the test URL (HTTP://httpbin.org/statuscode/404) it will return status code 200 in the AfterSessionComplete event.

Oh god, really thank you <3

I have one last question. Thank you very much indeed.

For example, I want to redirect yahoo.com site to telerik.com. So when I go to yahoo.com, I want to be on telerik.com. Is it possible to do this too?

Yes, virtually anything that can be achieved via modifying a request/response is doable via FiddlerCore. Use this SO thread as a reference on how to achieve it via FiddlerCore.
