About Debugging with Fiddler, Second Edition

The fully revised and updated guide to the Fiddler Web Debugger. It's written by Eric Lawrence, the creator of Fiddler.

In this book, you'll learn to fully exploit the power of Fiddler to debug traffic from virtually any web-related application, including all browsers and thousands of apps. You'll see how to debug HTTPS traffic, and use Fiddler with popular devices like iPhone/iPad, Android phones and tables, and others. After exploring the hundreds of built-in features, you'll learn to extend Fiddler using the FiddlerScript engine or build your own applications atop the FiddlerCore class library.
