Solution

  • Ordinarily Fiddler will show all HTTP traffic going via the Wininet http stack since it tweaks the proxy settings for Wininet when it starts capturing.

    In order to route other requests via Fiddler applications need to be manually directed to the Fiddler.

    In a .NET application you would use the .config file. Add the following:-

    <system.net>
    <defaultProxy enabled="true">
        <proxy proxyaddress="http://127.0.0.1:8888" bypassonlocal="False"/>
    </defaultProxy>
</system.net>

    Just be sure that Fiddler is capturing when this is enabled and set enabled to false before pausing capture or closing fiddler.

    For other applications which may be using the WinHTTP stack use the command:-

    proxycfg

    to see what the current proxy config is for WinHTTP. (Which is likely none). Then:-

    proxycfg -u

    to point WinHTTP at the same settings used by WinINET after capture has begun. Before capture is stopped use:-

    proxycfg -d

    to restore direct connection (or use proxycfg -h to learn how to restore the original settings).
