Hi, it looks like host filter is not working for following scenario:

i have requests to *.aaa.com. this includes domain names like:

bbb.ccc.ddd.aaa.com
eee.ccc.ddd.aaa.com
ccc.eee.aaa.com

What i tried and is not working


Is there a trick to get everything under aaa.com filtered without adding all domain names?

Thx

Where exactly did you specify the "host filter"? Can you send a screenshot?

From the Fiddler book:

The Host Filter dropdown enables you to flag or hide traffic to domain names specified in the textbox under the dropdown. You may specify multiple hosts by including a semicolon between each. 

Subdomains are not wildcarded automatically. That means that if you have “Show only the following Hosts” set and only fiddler2.com is in the list, you will not see traffic to www.fiddler2.com. To instead see traffic to subdomains, add a wildcard like *.fiddler2.com. This wildcarded entry will include traffic to test.fiddler2.com and sub.fiddler2.com, and so on. If you also want to see traffic to the root domain fiddler2.com, change the wildcard to *fiddler2.com— this will include traffic to any domain that ends with fiddler2.com without requiring a leading dot. 

When the background of the text box is yellow, it means your changes have not yet been applied. Click anywhere outside the box to save changes to the list
