Re: Reissue a request every x minutes

[EricLaw]

The FiddlerScript engine would allow you to easily repeat a request on a timer. For instance, if you add the following functions just inside the Handlers block:

 

public static ToolsAction("Request by Timer")
function doIt()
{
var oTimer: System.Windows.Forms.Timer = new Timer();
oTimer.add_Tick(OnTimer);
oTimer.Interval = 3000;
oTimer.Start();
}

public static function OnTimer(sender: Object, ea: EventArgs)
{
var s = "GET /gallery/image1.htm HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: www.example.com\r\nX-My-Num: 1\r\n\r\n";
try{
FiddlerObject.utilIssueRequest(s);
}
catch(e){
MessageBox.Show("send failed" + e.ToString());
}
}

 

...The request will be sent every three seconds when the user chooses the Request by Timer command on the Tools menu. You could, of course, change this script to issue a request of your choosing (e.g. one that the user selected in the Web Sessions list).

Is there any way to reissue a particular request every X minutes? (or seconds, obviously)

Thanks in advance.

this worked but anyone knows why I put the timer as 3600000 (1hour) but the script runs every half an hour?

You should add a call to FiddlerApplication.Log.LogString("!Running request") and then copy paste the contents of the Log tab, including the timers, to see what the exact time the request was executed is.

If I had to guess, I'd guess that you updated your FiddlerScript at some point about 30 minutes after you started it, and you didn't first stop the timer. As a consequence, you have two copies of the script running at the same time (30 minutes apart) and thus you're getting requests twice as often as you expect.

i turned off capture so that only this script is running, exit and then request timer, so only 1 instance is looping
and i add a timer column so i can see the exact time "clientconnected"

sry, turned out i forgot to save the rules! working correctly now, thanks all, great work!
fiddler is awesome

Hey,

I'm pretty bad at this so how could you add a selected issue in the web session list ?

I would like to reissue every X seconds the issue selected like the replay button does.

Thanks

Hi, any ways to do  this function but with multiple requests?

I try to add variables but it does not work.

thanks.

How did you attempt to "add variables" and what happened?
