How do I set the proxy in webhttpbinding configuration to use fiddler

Question

I'm trying to setup my Web service client to use fiddler proxy by setting it in the webhttpbinding configuration file as follows:

<bindings>
  <webHttpBinding>
    <binding name="RestBinding" proxyAddress="http://localhost:8888"  
         useDefaultWebProxy="false">

    </binding>
  </webHttpBinding>
</bindings>
<client>
   <endpoint address="http://localhost:2172/RestServiceImpl.svc" 
       binding="webHttpBinding"  behaviorConfiguration="RestService" 
       bindingConfiguration="RestBinding" 
       contract="IWS.IRestServiceImpl" name="Rest"/>
</client>

This doesn't seem to work. I don't see anything logged in fiddler when calling the webservice from the client. I know the call is being made because I get a response back from the service.

I can't seem to figure out what I'm doing wrong.

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks!!

The .NET Framework does not send requests for "localhost" to any proxy, including Fiddler. To workaround this, try to use your machine name instead as the endpoint address (e.g. http://mymachine:2172/RestServiceImpl.svc).

Also, take a look on Using Fiddler with IIS7 Express

Thank you for taking the time to read my post. I tried changing it to use computer name and ip, but both are giving me the error "ErrorCode: 10061. No connection could not be made because the target machine actively refused it" I have a feeling this is now a permissions issue on my windows 7 machine. Do you know what I should do to enable access to my webservice? – ptn77 May 13 '13 at 15:30
I updated my hosts file and was able to get this working. Changing it to use the computer name did the trick! Thank you so much! – ptn77 May 13 '13 at 17:17
