How can I fix this error in Fiddler: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it

Question

Hi,

For some reason I cannot monitor my asp.net page's request/responses to my local host in IE 8.0.

I use fiddler and I modified he url as this -by adding a dot before the semicolon-

http://localhost.:52749/JQuery/Chapter16-AJAX/PersonEditor.aspx

I get this error:

[Fiddler] Connection to localhost. failed. Exception Text: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it ::1:52749

Thanks

Answer 1

O.K. I have found how to work around this.

Go to Fiddler Options. Under General tab uncheck this:

'Enable IPv6 (If available)'

Then as usual add modify the URL that requests your files from your localhost by putting a dot after 'localhost' text.

It works!

See this link for how to set up Fiddler with Cassini. I think you need to do step 2.

Answer 3

Your best bet is to just use http://ipv4.fiddler:52749 as your URL.
