Hello,
I am using Fiddler Web Debugger (v2.5.1.2). I am new to fiddler tool. i have question on capturing the request.
In application, when i choose record in table grid and click button on panel then it will prompt for confirmation. if i click confirm button then request will sent and processed.
here basically i want to capture the entire request was built/sent to server when i click confirmation pop up.
i only see like below in Request headers, could you help me on this.
POST /xx/outbound/ui/abc.jsflps HTTP/1.1
Appreciate your inputs

The HEADERS inspectors show the headers on the request and on the response. The TextView/Raw and other inspectors show the bodies of the request and the response.
You may find the Getting Started video at http://www.telerik.com/videos/fiddler very helpful.

When browsers send html forms to servers, they tend to send the entire form, including any other text boxes and even hidden form fields.
Your "42" value is included in the POST data by the text field10value1=42 which you will find in the middle of the request.

Thanks for your response.
in this case my http request will be like this?. i want to use fiddler to capture exact http request how can i achieve this.
http://test.com:12000/nm/taskmgmt/ui/TaskHdrList.jsflps?field10value1=42
It's very likely the case that your HTTP request must look pretty much identical to what Fiddler captured; Fiddler captured exactly what the browser sent. Omitting any of the fields when sending a request again will likely cause the "incomplete" request to not work.

Hi Eric,
In this case do i have to use whole request by changing field10value1=42 value every time for new requests?. i feel request is not readable , is my application or fiddler is not the right choice to get http request here?. my requirement is to capture how web http request made and use that request to make call from java.
Appreciate your inputs
>In this case do i have to use whole request by changing field10value1=42 value every time for new requests?.
I don't really understand what you're asking. If you're saying "Do I need to change this value in order to use a different value?" the answer is "probably." If you're asking "Do I need to keep all the other data in the request in order to send a different value?" the answer is "probably." If you're asking "Can I just change this one value and keep all the other values the same and have it work" the answer is "Maybe, it entirely depends on how the server application was written. You'll have to try it to see.
i feel request is not readable
The request might be hard for you to read, but your browser and server find it very straightforward.
is my application or fiddler is not the right choice to get http request here?.
The application seems to send the HTTP request just fine and Fiddler captures it just fine, so they both seem like fine "choices" to me.
