I got a line in fiddler2 looking like this:

ICON # status protocol  host               url
XXX  3 200    HTTP      www.myserver.com  /images/save.png

The icon shown is a forbidden icon like this: enter image description here

Actually i am analizing a loading problem in one of our customers intranets.

Can anyone please tell me what this icon stands for?

That icon means that the session was aborted by the client, Fiddler, or the Server (see the documentation).

In the modern versions of Fiddler, right-click the session and choose Properties. In the list of flags, there will be an X-Aborted-When flag which shows the state of the session at the time that the abort occurred.

  • Thx, very much, i was looking on the fiddler page, but wasn't able to find it. Do you have any idea how i can find out which one (client, Fiddler or Server did abort the session) ? – Thariama Oct 07 '10 at 06:11

    If you see the response code of 200, and you haven't configured Fiddler to abort the traffic, then it was the client that caused the abort. This would happen if, for instance, the user navigated the browser to a different page before the graphic had been downloaded fully. – EricLaw Oct 08 '10 at 15:37

    Does the server records the hit? Sometimes this happens with tracking gifs that are fired when users click something that trigger a page load. Does the click is properly tracked or I am missing click counts? – Giacomo Jul 25 '11 at 16:15
  • @EricLaw How do I set Fiddler to abort as you mentioned? Fiddler seems to be resending my request right after it gets aborted the first time, so I can't reproduce my problem because watching with Fiddler changes the outcome. – Wiseguy Mar 19 '14 at 16:18
  • @Wiseguy: You should probably start a new question if you're going to ask something unrelated to the original. **Fiddler** doesn't resend your request-- your client application resends it. – EricLaw Mar 19 '14 at 18:32
  • @EricLaw I considered that to avoid cluttering this thread (and I will remove this), but my question was only in relation to what you meant about configuring Fiddler to abort the traffic. – Wiseguy Mar 19 '14 at 18:53

Fiddler changed their documentation link.

Here is the new link for all the icons:
