Debugging with Fiddler

Rate this book
Fiddler is a Web Debugging Proxy platform that monitors and modifies web traffic. This freeware tool enables developers, testers, and enthusiasts to inspect traffic, set breakpoints, and "fiddle" with incoming or outgoing data. Fiddler includes powerful event-based scripting, and can be extended using any .NET language. FiddlerCore, the core proxy engine underlying Fiddler, is available to integrate into any .NET application. In this book, you'll learn to fully exploit the power of Fiddler to debug traffic from virtually any web-related application, including Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Apple Safari, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, and thousands more. You'll see how to debug HTTPS traffic, and use Fiddler with popular devices like iPhone/iPod/iPad, Windows Phone, and others. After exploring the hundreds of built-in features, you'll learn to extend Fiddler using the FiddlerScript engine or build your own applications atop the FiddlerCore class library.

This really is more of a help file in the form of a book than a book. Nothing wrong with that; but for whatever reason I was expecting more advice, tips, and guidance on the various things Fiddler can be used for, not a reference on what each individual menu/setting does. Plenty of the latter; barely any of the former. If you have questions like "what does this button do", the book is not a bad place to look that up, but if it's anything more sophisticated, keep looking.
