I am trying to connect to a Visual Studio server from a remote machine using Fiddler and HTTPS. I followed this tutorial (http://docs.telerik.com/fiddler/Configure-Fiddler/Tasks/UseFiddlerAsReverseProxy) which works perfectly for HTTP. When I moved my project to HTTPS, the connection stopped working. I have tried several solutions, including:

but haven't been able to get it to work. Can someone help?

You haven't explained what happens, but my guess is that your client is trying to do a HTTPS handshake with Fiddler, which is expecting HTTP because you didn't tell it to do anything else.

In Fiddler's QuickExec box, type

!listen 444 FiddlerMachineName

This will create a new HTTPS-accepting endpoint running at https://FiddlerMachineName:444 and Fiddler will perform a HTTPS handshake on all inbound connections. You can then use FiddlerScript to forward requests to the target service.

  • Thanks, this has certainly resolved my HTTPS issue. However, I continue to have an issue with my hostname, which means I am unable to connect from a remote machine.

  • @noilly: Curious. In Fiddler, if you hover over the "Online" badge at the top-right of the toolbar, do you see more than one IP address listed? – EricLaw Aug 21 '14 at 16:00
  • no I only see one. I worked out that the strange IP address is the response created by the Mac when it can't resolve a hostname - very weird. So I think I will take a different strategy regarding the VM's IP - maybe you can answer thew question I've posed here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/25402478/in-fiddlerscript-is-there-a-way-to-access-the-current-machines-local-ip – David Poxon Aug 21 '14 at 23:41
