Fiddler

This week’s tech tool, Fiddler, is an extremely useful tool to have around when reaching the final stages of creating  a website.

Fiddler is a HTTP Debugging Proxy which logs all HTTP traffic between your computer and the Internet. Fiddler allows you to inspect all HTTP Traffic, set breakpoints, and “fiddle” with incoming or outgoing data. Fiddler includes a powerful event-based scripting subsystem, and can be extended using any .NET language.

I myself have used it many times for looking at cookie data, finding out if a particular CSS file is loading, or seeing if any of my file paths are returning 404 errors.

Fiddler’s definitely worth a look, and at the price of free - how can you go wrong?! Check it out!
