There is an issue I am facing while using chatGPT when the proxy is on. Whenever I submit my chat prompt to chatGPT, it throws 403 unauthorized errors.  Please check screenshot below

ChatGpt is using cloudflare and I suspect it might be blocking the request.
Kindly suggest what might going wrong here and how chatGPT detects and blocks
requests from fiddler. Is there any way we can overcome this issue?

As far as I know, chatgpt works only with HTTP/2. Fiddler Classic does not support HTTP/2, so it is not possible to have the requests proxied through Fiddler Classic. You can try using Fiddler Everywhere, which has HTTP/2 support.

Regarding the Cloudflare question - this one is interesting. I'm not sure how Cloudflare detects it, probably they rely on some specific cipher (list of ciphers) that is being sent. Also, it could be a fingerprint of the sender, which is determined in a way that is different when using MITM proxy. Of course, these are just ideas, probably the Cloudflare team is the only one who can give a proper answer.

Hi Rosen Vladimirov,

 

We tried Fiddler Everywhere too by enabling HTTP 2.0. We still get the 403 status code.

Hey Lokesh,

 

No issues are observed from our side, but note that the Chat-GPT servers are a bit overloaded these days and often fall during the authentication process. Apart from that ensure that the HTTP/2 support is explicitly enabled in Fiddler Everywhere

Then try to login in to ChatGPT through the Fiddler's independent browser instance.
