I need a proxy for web development debugging. Preferably something standalone so I can use it with both IE and Firefox. The one I have used so far is CharlesProxy but I was hoping to find a free one. Anyone know of a good one?

I suggest you: OWASP Webscarab Very complete and easy to use.

fiddler perhaps? IE goes through it automatically if its running, you have to tell FF to go through 127.0.0.1:8888 (might be wrong about port num, but its in the docs)

Oh yes, and you can also use it to generate http requests :-)

Current versions of Fiddler install a Firefox plugin, so using Firefox with Fiddler is as easy as clicking on the text in the Firefox status bar.Fiddler is free, and tons of addons are available for it.

A: 

Depends on what you need to do with it.

I found TrivialProxy to be awesome and very lightweight for monitoring what is going through.
