If the request and response are not manually dropped, how long will the request and response be cached?

[the East Wind]

As far as I know, in fidlercore, you can use

oS["log-drop-request-body"] = "streamingThisRequest";

oS["log-drop-response-body"] = "streamingThisResponse";

to release the request body or response body.

So, in which event processing should I use these two flags?

And how long will the request body and response body be cached by default when these two flags are not used?

Hi the East Wind,

When these flags are present, the request or response body will be immediately forgotten after Session processing completes. The event handler for each flag would look like the below. 

BeforeRequest Event

Fiddler.FiddlerApplication.BeforeRequest += session => 
{
    session["log-drop-request-body"] = "streamingThisRequest";
};

BeforeResponse Event

Fiddler.FiddlerApplication.BeforeResponse += session => 
{
    session["log-drop-response-body"] = "streamingThisResponse";
};

I hope this helps. Please let me know if you need any additional information. Thank you.
