I’ve been using Charles as an HTTP proxy/debugger for over a year now. It’s a useful tool, but I confess I get mighty tired of the (almost weekly) updates and downloads. When we’re running it on 3 test machines, as well as 5 developer machines, it begins to get repetetively annoying to keep installing minor updates and bugfixes. Even so, Charles does give us bandwidth throttling, and Macintosh compatibility, and currently it’s hard to live without those when we need ‘em.
Today I came across a freeware tool called Fiddler (PC only folks, so Mac users can stick with Charles) that comes highly recommended by our Lead Tester here at Endemol.
Check it out folks – nil desperandum: Using Fiddler with Firefox
