CNET editors' review

Reviewed by: CNET Staff

This freeware program notes all your Internet traffic for analysis, but maestros only, please.

Fiddler makes necessary configuration changes without user intervention and resets those changes when closed. Fiddler can be used with any app that can be configured to use a proxy--including Firefox and many messaging programs--but it works best with Internet Explorer.

Fiddler's interface, like sheet music, looks simple enough but is gibberish if you don't know the notation. Luckily, if you're an intermediate or expert user you'll find all the documentation, tips, and help you need on Fiddler's Web site.

This program is an invaluable tool for system administrators to debug traffic problems. You can have a distant user run Fiddler and save a session. From there, you can compare their session with yours to diagnose problems. Fiddler makes it easy to emulate different browsers, identify page errors, and collect Web site statistics. Expert users looking for an analysis tool will appreciate Fiddler. Intermediate users will become expert users by practicing with this well-designed tool.

Publisher's description

From Bayden Systems :

Fiddler is a HTTP Debugging Proxy, which logs all HTTP traffic between your computer and the Internet. Fiddler allows you to inspect all HTTP Traffic, set breakpoints, and "fiddle" with incoming or outgoing data. Fiddler is designed to be much simpler than using NetMon or Achilles, and includes a simple but powerful JScript.NET event-based scripting subsystem.
