How to get Fiddler to report HTTP connections on a local PC

Question

I have a client and a server and they are both on the local box and they speak web services. How can I get Fiddler to report these connections?

It only seems to want to report connections to other PCs.

NOTE: I actually found the answer. http://www.fiddler2.com/Fiddler/help/hookup.asp#Q-LocalTraffic

Answer 1

You must add a period (.) after localhost or use the machines name for the URL of the site you want to view traffic for in your browser.

For example:

http://localhost./foo.html

Or:

http://mymachinename/foo.html

See here for known documented issues with fiddler.

Answer 2

There is a Tab named "Filters" where you can setup a host list to ignore.

Hope this helps!
