I want to monitor HTTP traffic between a process on my local machine and another (server) process, also running on my local machine.
How can I configure Fiddler to listen to traffic to and from localhost
?
Internet Explorer and the . NET Framework are hardcoded not to send requests for Localhost through any proxies, and as a proxy, Fiddler Classic will not receive such traffic.
Fiddler listens on port—Defines the port that Fiddler Everywhere uses to listen for web traffic. The default port is 8866.
Set Remote Machine Proxy SettingsStart Fiddler Classic on the Fiddler server (the machine that will capture the traffic). Click Tools > Options. Ensure Allow remote clients to connect is checked. On the other machine, set the proxy settings to the machine name of the Fiddler server at port 8888.
You can use Fiddler to create an HTTP session of the monitored web application. In Fiddler, go to Tools > Fiddler Options > HTTPS. Select Capture HTTPS CONNECTs and Decrypt HTTPS traffic. Go to File > Capture Traffic or press F12 to turn off capturing.
By simply adding fiddler to the url
http://localhost.fiddler:8081/
Traffic is routed through fiddler and therefore being displayed on fiddler.
