Alternative to Fiddler? [closed]

Question

Hi I use Fidder to test bug fixes directly on non development environments. It allows you to intercept the bogus javascript file and replace it by any other content you specify without needing to deploy any files.

The problem is that I just use this feature from Fiddler, and the interface is not very user friendly (specially if you need to replace/intercept more than one file, it gets quickly tedious).

Is there an alternative software with the same feature and more user friendly/productive ? Or even better, one that integrates easily with your IDE (personaly I use eclipe) ?

Answer 1

Give Charles a go. I find the interface a bit better than Fiddler. It's not free, but has a demo which runs for thirty minutes, at which point you can restart it.

Not sure if it has the all the features you want though, you might have to give it a go.

Answer 2

I would recommend looking at Burp Suite. It's free and once you master it you can do some very powerful things with very little effort.

Fiddler is plugable and it's not hard to edit the script that comes with fiddler to achive your goal or better still write you own filter with a few lines of code and then drop the DLL in the fiddler2 folder.

The code you need is something like

if (oSession.url.indesOf("XYZ")>-1)
  oSession.LoadFromFile("c:\\MyScript.js");

I wrote a muiltithread proxy server from scratch, zillion lines of code, months of work and a big mistake because Fiddler gives you all the tools you need out of the box and it's so easy to extend and i will be releasing some code that gets Fiddler to kick back against the spyware servers in the coming weeks.
