Record and replay HTTPS on different machine

[frank.jia...@gmail.com]

Does Fiddler support record and replay HTTPS traffic on a different machine?

Here are what I plan to do:

(1) On machine A with Fiddler installed, record HTTPS traffics
(2) On machine A using Autoresponder feature to respond automatically with saved data in step 1.
(3) On machine A export the requests as Curl commands or JSON file
(4) Put the saved requests on machine B and replay the saved requests to machine A (which auto respond with save data)


This works for HTTP. However, does it work for HTTPS?

Sure, this will work for HTTPS as well as HTTP; you need Machine A's proxy settings pointed at Machine B.

For HTTPS, you also need to ensure that Machine B uses the same Fiddler root certificate as Machine A (because otherwise Machine A won't trust the certificate used by Machine B), or that Machine A is configured to trust the certificate used by Machine B.

Stepping back a bit though-- why would you want to do this?

My use case is to test HTTPS.

Does it work change machine A's host file instead of using proxy? The product I need to test itself is a HTTPS proxy.

It would be helpful if you step back and explain exactly what it is that you're trying to do.
