is a HTTP debugging proxy server application written by Eric Lawrence. It captures HTTP and HTTPS traffic and logs it for the user to review.
It can also be used to modify ("fiddle") with HTTP traffic for troubleshooting purposes as it is being sent or received. Any browser or web application can be configured to route its traffic through Fiddler.

Great for debugging your WCF services.

About Me

My first computer was a Commodore VIC-20, I had great fun trying to code text adventures and side scrolling shoot ‘em ups in BASIC. This helped me lead the way as the first in my school to pass a computer exam.

Currently I work as a Senior Software Engineer in Bedford for a FTSE 100 Company. Coding daily in C#, JavaScript and SQL. Outside of work I work on whatever is interesting me at that time.
