I am using Fiddler Classic strictly for its FiddlerScript capabilities, and I have just learned that the Progress team no longer have any plans to add this awesome functionality to Fiddler Everywhere. This is very sad news for me, as I feel that probably Fiddler's most appreciated feature is dropped all together. I have just installed the Everywhere version, checked out its Rules tab, but I am most positive that all those hard-coded rules will not even come close to the functionality and the simplicity provided by a scripting language. The Rules tab in Everywhere may be a more easier and intuitive option for most users, but this comes at the price of loosing the flexibility and the powerful tools that only a script can provide. The web is becoming more and more complex with each day, and in order for Fiddler to stay on top of it, I believe it should give its users access to the most powerful tools available. Employing scripting capabilities is certainly one of it, if not the best one! Why restrict that?!

I would like to take this opportunity to kindly ask the design team to re-evaluate this decision of dropping this future. It sets Fiddler apart from all the other software out there, and dropping it all together would be a major downgrade for Fiddler, in my opinion. Having a Rules tab for those in need of a quick set-up, and preserving the current scripting capabilities for those looking for powerful functionality seems like the best way to go for me. With these two foundations, I have no doubt Fiddler will continue to stay relevant and grow in the years ahead.

Anyhow, in case no re-evaluation will be made and approved, I would like to know if you have any plans of dropping support/updates for Fiddler Classic in the future. This would be a second blow to all the 10 year+ Fiddler users.

I hope both versions will be offered to us for many years to come, no matter how much the web will be changing. So, please confirm if we can at least rely on Fiddler Classic, as some believe it is only a matter of time until it will be deprecated (including me). For the time being, hopefully the plans to add support for HTTP/2 and TLS 1.3 will indeed materialize (for Fiddler Classic).

If others feel like me on this whole issue, please do comment. Thank you!

Hey everyone,

I’m hitting a bit of a wall with mTLS in Fiddler Everywhere. My logs are showing the following error repeatedly: "[Error] [Fiddler] The server [domain] requested a client certificate, but no client certificate was available."

The Situation:

  • I have my client certificate ready (as a .pfx, no password).

  • My setup involves several subdomains, specifically:

    • appdata.mydomain.com

    • apps-boost-global.mydomain.com

  • They all use the SAME certificate.

The Problem: I can’t find a clear, definitive path on where to save these files so Fiddler Everywhere actually "sees" and picks them up. I've seen mentions of Documents\FiddlerCore, .fiddler\ClientCerts, and others, but none seem to trigger the handshake correctly.

My Questions:

  1. What is the exact directory path Fiddler Everywhere uses for client certificates in the latest version?

  2. Since I’m using the same cert for multiple domains, do I need to duplicate and rename the file for every single subdomain (e.g., hostname.pfx), or is there a way to map one cert to multiple hosts in the UI/Settings?

  3. Does the file extension matter (should I use .pfx, .p12, or rename to .cer)?

I have a C# rule script in fiddler classic, which convert the http request form-data body from "key1=value1" to json {"key1": "value1"}

I am trying to migrate to fiddler everywhere, but I have no idea how to achieve this in fiddler everywhere, where's rule script in fiddler everywhere?

Fiddler classic doesn't capture anything because there's a security software in my case that always changes the proxy setting if I change it for Fiddler.

Fiddler Anywhere feels like a hack. It's only good for capturing when launching a browser from within it.
There's no functionality to capture http requests that come out from apps running on the machine. No capturing from apps that host browsers like webview.

Please make a tool that can capture requests from any app. See httpdebugger.com as an example. The tool need not depend on a proxy.

I have a user that reported issues trying to use "Fiddler Everywhere" after upgrading their OS:

"I updated from windows 10 to windows 11...Fiddler Everywhere was working last week when I was using on Windows 10. After upgrading, I tried to use it again today and cannot establish a remote connection to monitor traffic from a mobile device. I noticed when I first opened Fiddler I received a windows firewall notification. The option to "allow" was greyed out and I could only close the prompt. I am assuming the problem with connecting is related to the firewall but these seem to be managed by the organization. Please help allow traffic through Fiddler to assist in my debugging workflows."

I don't use Fiddler, and my team doesn't have internal documentation on troubleshooting Fiddler.  I enclosed some screen captures of what the user has sent us.  He is an Administrator on his Windows laptop, but I noticed some duplicate entries in his Windows Firewall that are grayed out, likely to Group Policy.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I'm unable to access DuckDuckGo with Fiddler Everywhere. I can connect to DuckDuckGo without Fiddler. I think it's because DuckDuckGo detects Fiddler. Other possibilities are that the Fiddler certificate also supports unsafe TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1, and their server ignores the request, but I'm not sure. Can you connect to DuckDuckGo, or is this issue exclusive to me? Thanks

This is what I received in the response.
