Fiddler

Fiddler is an HTTP debugging proxy application that captures and logs HTTP and HTTPS traffic between a web browser or application and the internet. It can be used to inspect, monitor, and modify requests and responses for troubleshooting purposes such as capturing session IDs, debugging web applications, ensuring cookies and headers are transferred correctly, decrypting HTTPS traffic for security testing, and analyzing page weight, caching, and compression for performance testing. To capture a session ID, users download and launch Fiddler, observe traffic records, login to the targeted application, double click on a record, and view the session ID in request and response headers under the Inspector tab.

What is Fiddler

Fiddleris an HTTP debugging Proxy Server


application.
Fiddler captures HTTP and HTTPS traffic
and logs it for the user to review.
Fiddler can also be used to modify HTTP
traffic for troubleshooting purposes.
Any browser or web application can be
configured to route its traffic through
Fiddler rather than a conventional way i.e.
from Microsoft's WinINET HTTP(S) at
runtime.

Usage of Fiddler
Fiddler is used to capture Session ID from
the request sent and response received by
the server.
The Fiddler tool helps to debug web
applications by capturing network traffic
between the Internet and test computers.
The tool enables to inspect incoming and
outgoing data to monitor and modify
requests and responses before the
browser receives them.

Web Debugging

Ensure cookies, headers and cache directives are transferred between client and
server.

Security testing

Decrypt HTTPS traffic, and display and modify requests using a man-in-the-middle decryption
technique.

Performance testing Fiddler gives the total page weight, HTTP caching,
SessionID and compression at glance.

HTTP/HTTPS Traffic Recording

Use it to debug traffic from virtually


any application that supports a proxy like IE, Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Opera and more

Working - to capture
SessionID
1.Download Fiddler from - http://www.telerik.com/fiddler
2.Complete the installation and launch Fiddler.
3.Two panes gets open by default under Fiddler.
4.Launch the Web application(BBM Portal in our case)
5.Observe the records displayed on the Left pane in Fiddler.
6.Login to the portal.
7.More records will appear in left pane as page loading takes
place.
8.Double click on the record.
9.In the Right Pane Click on Inspector.
10.
Under HEADERS Tab observe the sessionID in Request
header, the same sessionID can be observed in Response
header.
