Many bugfixes Updated SampleRules.js Improved Inspectors; WebForms, Hex were major rewrites Improved performance-timers Added Timer calculations to Performance Statistics tab Added Password-protected archive option; Click the "Save As Type" dropdown on the Save Dialog
Improved inspectors & AutoResponder Changed ZipArchive to use .SAZ file extension Introduced AutoFiddler extensibility interface Performance improvements Many bugfixes and improved error messages
New AutoResponder features simplify tampering Many new rules; added Performance submenu to Rules menu Improved QuickExec box below session list (type HELP) Improved Inspectors; added IAutoFiddle support Improved Reporter tab with chart improvements Improved TextEncoder Improved options dialog More flexible Request builder Improved Visual Studio WebTest export Improved RFC2616 support Performance improvements Many bugfixes and improved error messages
Many bug fixes Added InfoTip if response is encoded Added Authentication Inspector Session Properties view shows # bytes downloaded (helpful when downloading huge files through Fiddler. Hit F5 to refresh)
Fixes to support Windows Vista Improved support for Rules Menu items New version check feature Header inspector enables editing all headers at once Significant performance improvements
Added QuickExec box (Hit Alt+Q) IPv6 Literal Support Support for request chunking Performance Report improvements Web-Test Export Bugfixes ImageViewer improvements (e.g. Middle+Click to dump image to desktop) Added FontSize to Options dialog Added lightweight Request Form viewer Added HideOnMinimize option Created ExecFiddlerAction.exe for use by command line tools wishing to drive Fiddler Added actResumeAllSessions() Added "GetTokenValue" to HTTPHeaders object Dozens of miscellaneous bugfixes
Introduced support for upstream proxy autodetection and configuration scripts (http/https delivered scripts only) Enhanced Find Sessions feature with new options Added "Clone response" to session context menu Fixed upstream NTLM/Negotiate proxy support When DebugSpew is on, both requests and responses dumped to debug console in hex format Change default for CaptureCONNECT to True Added FiddlerObject.UI.actReloadInspectors() added to simplify inspector development Fixed Save as WebTest in various ways Allow userscript to override the hostname used to determine upstream IP, without changing the HTTP headers. This enables HOSTS-file type scenarios where a request should be sent to an alternative server. e.g. in your OnBeforeRequest() handler, put code like: if (oSession.host=="production.example.com") { oSession["x-overrideHost"] = "development.example.com" } Obviously, this doesn't work if you have an upstream proxy, and you have to just tweak oSession.host directly for those cases. Performance and Robustness improvements
Critical security update New View | Stacked Layout option Autobreakpoints now ignore images by default Image inspector offers two scaling modes Insert key marks current session Prompts to install WinDiff if Session Compare can't find it String registry entry "CompareTool" enables custom Compare tool choice Autobypass upstream proxy for hostnames "127.0.0.1" and "localhost" (only downside is can't chain instances) .NET Framework v2.0 now detected by installer
Rebuilt proxy registration code to ensure Fiddler leaves settings as it found them Hex inspector again installs as it now works on Windows Vista beta2. Slight tweaks to default session colors Changed file-save dialogs for clarity Script can set state to SessionStates.Done to abort further processing Improved NTLM handling (It's now believed to be bug free!) Updated Session Archive feature Changed default for Server socket reuse to ON Updated Find Sessions form to automatically cycle color choices Fiddler Options dialog is now sizable Added View Bytes option to Text Decoder applet Fiddler now supports autohooking connection other than the default LAN connection Fixed race condition in server socket pool
Fiddler will only load public, non-abstract types as Inspectors UI-tweak: Double-click in status bar panels to enable/disable capturing or set automatic breakpointing Added Load Sessions option on File menu Added new flags request-trickle-delay and response-trickle-delay Fixed Windows Vista installation issue. Note Hex Inspector does not run on Windows Vista. Fixed startup code to show running instance if possible New icons for 204/401/403/5xx/HEAD New color choices for Find results Prefaced all Fiddler-generated HTTP Response status lines with "Fiddler -" Added Spoof IE6 to default rules Updated so NTLM doesn't show "0" for second part of handshake.
