Fiddling with Fiddler
Fiddler is a freeware developed by Eric Lawrence. This tool is used to debug HTTP traffic from any application including Internet Explorer, Firefox, and other browsers. From the Fiddler's website, the description of Fiddler is as follows:
Fiddler is a Web Debugging Proxy which logs all HTTP(S) traffic between your computer and the Internet. Fiddler allows you to inspect all HTTP(S) traffic, set breakpoints, and fiddle with incoming or outgoing data.
