how to edit user pass before send send request

Answer 1

static function OnBeforeRequest(oSession: Session) {
    var loginDomain = 'www.testlogin.org';  
    var loginPath = '/login';
    var username;
    var password;
    var strBody
    
    if (username == null && oSession.uriContains(loginDomain) && 
        oSession.uriContains(loginPath))
    {

        username = FiddlerObject.prompt("Enter user name: ");
        password = FiddlerObject.prompt("Enter password: ");
        strBody='username: ' + username + ' pass: ' + password;
        //encode the body to handle special characters in the password
        //password "P&ssword=secure"    will be    "P%26ssword%3Dsecure"                                            
        strBody=Utilities.UrlEncode(strBody);
        oSession.utilSetRequestBody(strBody);
    }

//... the rest of the OnBeforeRequest function
}

This will open 2 prompt windows to enter the username and then password after entering the login URL in a browser and executing a request. The prompts may not popup in front of the browser, you may need to switch focus to fiddler to use the prompt windows

For modifying requests in Fiddler classic use the OnBeforeResponse function. To replace username and password in body of the HTTP request (not in header as used e.g. by BASIC auth) you can use utilReplaceInRequest method which performs search and replace on text level:

static function OnBeforeResponse(oSession: Session) {
    // check if the requests is to the correct hosts and path
    if (oSession.HostnameIs("www.example.org") && oSession.PathAndQuery.Contains("/login")) {
        oSession.utilDecodeResponse();
        oSession.utilReplaceInRequest("username: xxx", "username: newusername");
        oSession.utilReplaceInRequest("pass: xxxx", "pass: newpassword");
    }
}

Alternatively you can get the body as text and manipulate it as you want using standard .Net String methods:

    if (oSession.HostnameIs("www.example.org") && oSession.PathAndQuery.Contains("/login")) {
        oSession.utilDecodeResponse();
        var body = oSession.GetRequestBodyAsString();
        // use .Net String manipulation methods to find and replace text in the body
        oSession.utilSetRequestBody(body);
    }
