I installed Fiddler to view the traffic to/from a local application via http://localhost:8888/.. I installed Fiddler 4.4.6.2 but am a bit confused by a couple of things.
When I run my test that accesses my app (on http://localhost:8888/.. ) I see the traffic in Fiddler, but the client I am testing crashes because it seems to be getting back something from Fiddler Echo Service instead of the actual response from my app. How do I stop that?
Secondly, even when I turn capturing off (File > Capture Traffic), it is still capturing traffic. I have to exit from Fiddler before it stops.
Is there something else I am meant to do here just to get Fiddler to view the traffic, not modify it, and to stop capturing when I ask?
Thanks!

Hello, Robert--
Fiddler is a proxy server that runs on your PC. Your app isn't running at localhost:8888, Fiddler is running on that port. You should access your application using its URL, instead of using the host:port that Fiddler is running on.

Hi Erik,
Well, that explains the response I was getting. Can we change Fiddler's port? Because my app is actually running on port 8888 and I would rather not change that.
I guess that explains why I thought it was capturing traffic even when I turned that off - because Fiddler took over the port my app needs!

Hi,
Click Tools > Fiddler Options > Connections to change the port Fiddler runs on. I must warn you, however, that port 8888 has other contenders which make it a dubious choice; see https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/httpfiddler/-Ja4L_tezOc
