How can I ignore the first request for the same URL

How can I ignore the first request for the same URL with fiddler auto responder

I want auto responder to work with the 2nd request from the same url

Hi Talha,

You cannot achieve your goal through the AutoResponder feature.

However, you can use FiddlerScript to add logic that checks whether the desired session is the first one that passes through the Fiddler proxy, based on your own criteria. Then, you can decide what to do with it, depending on whether it is the first occurrence or not.

For example, here is a basic demo that uses a boolean flag to determine if this is the first time we encounter a session that contains example.com in its URL (and blocks it from being executed succesfully).

static var isFirst = true;
static function OnBeforeRequest(oSession: Session) {
        if (oSession.uriContains("example.com")&& isFirst) {
            oSession.oRequest.FailSession(404, "Blocked", "Fiddler blocked request");
          
            isFirst = false; 
        }
}

thanks but what I wanted was not to block the first request
I want to apply auto responder to the 2nd request after the first request from the same url is successful and normal

You can use the same approach in FiddlerScript, but you need to switch the logic of the boolean statement. For instance, use the boolean flag to ensure that the first request occurs as it is, and then change the boolean flag so that you can apply custom actions on any subsequent requests that match the condition criteria.
