ReverseProxyForPort problem

[ShellShock]

I'm trying to set up a reverse proxy using Fiddler, as described here:
http://www.fiddlertool.com/fiddler/help/reverseproxy.asp. I could not
get Option 1 working:

I note that the registry key is now HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Fiddler2
(with "2" on the end).

On my server I set IIS to port 81, and Fidler to port 80. From the
client I fired off a request to my web service. Fiddler sees the
incoming request (session), but then just keeps adding a new line in
the Web Sessions with the same request details. It does not seem to be
passing the request onto IIS. This continues even when I killed the
client.

I got the reverse proxy working using option 2 (customised rule),
which is OK but may not be ideal because I'm using an external client
and I am not 100% sure of the servername format it uses in the URL for
the web service.

Anyway, thanks for a great tool!

Thanks for the note on the outdated registry key. I've fixed that.

You've found a bug in Fiddler's ReverseProxy code that occurs only
when Fiddler is running on port 80. I'll fix this for an upcoming
version.

Thanks!

This should now be fixed in build 2.2.7.4, which you can find here:

thanks!

I installed 2.2.7.5 and the version from link you posted, but I'm
getting the same issues as ShellShock.

A full window of web sessions. I'm going to try the customized rule
instead.

Adam, what URL did you use for the initial request?

It was just http://testserverad which has a dns entry in our domain.
The test server has 5 websites on it all with similar domain entries.
I tried quite a few but none worked.

You must use a hostname known to Fiddler to represent the local
machine. Such hostnames include "localhost", "127.0.0.1", "[::1]",
and several variations. In version 2.2.7.6, the plainhostname of the
machine (which is shown after the text "Running on" in Help / About)
is also a legal value.

The alternative if you want to use another name is to explicitly write
a FiddlerScript rule.
