timeout in session after reuest send to server

[farshad]

i want to timeout and retry a session that's already send out to server but server is under heavy load and can't response in a reasonable time so i want to retry the request if the server didn't respond in xx second after the request is send is that possible with fiddler?

Hi Farshad,

 

Check this SO thread for suggestions on how to simulate timeout with Fiddler Classic

You can retry a session from the UI or through FiddlerScript.

hi

this is not what i want. this create a delay in the response or request i want to request goes as normal but if server not responded for example in 10 second then i abort or abandon that request issue another one or maybe generate my own response and pass that to client

You can use the Session timers to measure the time between different events https://docs.telerik.com/fiddlercore/api/fiddler.sessiontimers

Additionally, you can check this thread for suggestions on how to reissue requests every N-minutes: https://groups.google.com/g/httpfiddler/c/8r9Hop7LMXg

i try your suggestion but i have a problem

        if (oSession.uriContains("https://mywebservice20.c/"))
            {
        
            FiddlerApplication.Log.LogString(oSession.Timers.ClientDoneRequest);
            var oTimer: System.Windows.Forms.Timer = new Timer();   
            oTimer.add_Tick(OnTimer);  
            oTimer.Interval = 5000;
            oTimer.Start();
            }

    public static function OnTimer(sender: Object, ea: EventArgs)
    {
        FiddlerApplication.Log.LogString('55');
       
        try{
            MessageBox.Show("send failed" )
            //sender.utilCreateResponseAndBypassServer();
            //sender.oResponse.headers.Add("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", "*") ;
            //sender.oResponse.headers.Add("Access-Control-Allow-Methods", "GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, HEAD, OPTIONS");
            //sender.oResponse.headers.HTTPResponseCode = 200;
            //sender.oResponse.headers.HTTPResponseStatus = "200 OK";
            //oTimer.stop();
        }
        catch(e){
            MessageBox.Show("send failed" + e.ToString());
        }
    } 

first problem i open https://mywebservice20.c and the timer wont run at all.

second problem i want to pass Osession and oTimer to Ontimer function so i can stop the timer and set the response and send that to client but i keep getting type mismatch. 

[Nick Iliev]

The contains checks for URL that ends with forward-slash (https://mywebservice20.c/ vs https://mywebservice20.c) and it would be expected that there won't be a match.

For the type mismatch, ensure that you are using the proper language in FiddlerScript (the options being JScript.NET vs. C# from Options > Tools > Scripting) and respecting the declared variables' scope and functions.

[farshad]

the matching is not a problem it get matched and the log shows that the first part gets matched but the function OnTimer never runs after that.

about type missmatch i put

  oTimer.add_Tick(oSession,oTimer); 

and

public static function OnTimer(sender,oTimer)

 

but it wont compile.
