In the company I work for, there is a .NET application developed using WCF. There are 2 parts - 1. Application  server and 2. A thick client - Both installed on the same machine. The application server is IIS.

I would like to capture all SOAP calls make by the client to the application server. I tried Fiddler, but it is not capturing traffic to localhost at the moment. Any way to capture the WCF calls made to the localhost by the windows thick client?

I tried to remove "loopback" from Tools - Fiddler Options - Connections : "ByPass Fiddler for URL's that with", but unable to do this. 

If fiddler doesn't do this any other software that does this? 

I've been using the hosts filter option extensively, to hide traffic from various sites (used for regular surfing).
It seems that the filter has a maximum length of 4096 characters - is that correct?

Shouldn't we be allowed to specify more than that?

I'm working with the owner of the firm where I work to track down the source of "DO_NOT_TRUST_FiddlerRoot" certificates that keep accumulating in his Personal cert store. We've also identified the "DO_NOT_TRUST_FiddlerRoot" dummy CA cert in his "Trusted Root Certification Authorities" store. We've been able to confirm that he does not have the Fiddler application installed on this computer. We've also been unable to find any of the FiddlerCore DLLs on his hard drives. Which leads me to believe that the FiddlerCore DLL has been merged into a stand-alone executable by using something like ILMerge.

We have a general idea of when the dummy CA cert was created, so we're starting to look at applications (particularly applications in the system's Startup folders) which were installed right about that time. But the question for the forum: is there any quick or easy way to identify which applications may have the FiddlerCore engine embedded in them?

Thanks in advance for any advice, suggestions!

Hello,

I want to use Fiddler to utilize HTTP/1.0 functionality which do not support "Host" header. Yet if I put http://10.10.10.10/ into Request Builder and choose "HTTP/1.0" from menu, it still puts "Host" header in. I want request coming out without that header at all. How do I do that?

Hi-

I was given a Fiddler trace (saz file) that illustrates a problem being experienced from a network in Eurorpe. This one user is reporting slow page loads.  Really really slow page loads.

The trace shows some requests returning a "result" of 0 rather than 200 response code, but most are returning 200.  This is the only known issue from over 40 other client work stations.  My immediate thought is to lay the blame on this single client instance.  But the trace (snippet below) is showing that the request was made and the server has received it.  Which makes the server look guilty here.  Except, I've not once been able to repro this issue from the US.  And 40+ other clients are not reporting the same issue.   I am trying to find out if, despite the server having received the request as shown, could this possibly be a client side issue? 

Request Count:   1
Bytes Sent:      1,807        (headers:1,025; body:782)
Bytes Received:  60        (headers:60; body:0)

Hi,

I am fairly new to Fiddler and I am stuck in a issue.

I have a WCF service which has a Upload File Method which takes a Custom object

  [DataContract]
    public class UploadFile
    {
        [DataMember]
        public Stream fileStream { get; set; }
        
        [DataMember]
        public string serverName { get; set; }
        
        [DataMember]
        public string accessPoint { get; set; }

        [DataMember]
        public string resourcePath { get; set; }
    }

and this is the WCF method Definition

[WebInvoke(ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json, Method = "POST", UriTemplate = "FileName", BodyStyle = WebMessageBodyStyle.Bare)]
        [OperationContract]
        [FaultContract(typeof(Errors))]
        void FileUpload(UploadFile uploadFile);


How do i test this in fiddler?

Thanks

Hello,

I have an embedded application running on an ARM processor that talks to a SOAP web service running on my Windows Server2008.  I am having some problems between the embedded device and the Server.  I tried running Fiddler directly on my server but it does not capture anything.  I know my embedded device is talking to the server because it does respond to some of my commands.  How do I get Fiddler to display all http request/responses to my asp.net web service application? 

Best Regards,
Steve Mansfield

How can I get Fiddler to decrypt and look at Microsoft Exchange PowerShell sessions?
