PHP/Curl monitoring using Fiddler

Question

I've been doing some http requests recently using php and curl and wanted to analyze the requests and responses with fiddler. The machine running the php scripts is on a linux vps and fiddler is running on a windows machine with an open port. This should work but everytime I use the CURLOPT_PROXY option in curl_setopt, it uses an HTTP Tunnel to connect to fiddler and the requests and responses do not appear. Is there an option I can use to fix this?

I've also tried: curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPPROXYTUNNEL, FALSE); to no avail

Answer 1

I think you have to explicitly specify the ip-address:host of fiddler after curl_init() as follows:

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXY, '127.0.0.1:8888');
