I cannot find a way to successfully mimic Background Intelligent File

sessions.

Any ideas how I can use Fiddler (or Fiddler captures) to help me test
our BITS upload/download functionality?

I'm not sure I understand how PowerShell plays into this.
If you reissue a given request with Fiddler, does it work?
Is the HTTP-method really "BITS_POST" or is this just an artifact of
whatever tool you're using for display?
It *seems* like a likely explanation is that the server is expecting a
Content-Length header but the Visual Studio client isn't providing
one?

PowerShell BITS cmdlets exist that exercise BITS functionality (to a
point).
If I reissue a given request with Fiddler it does not work - 500
error.
As far as I can tell the HTTP-method is truly "BITS_POST".

Actually, if I reissue the series of requests via Fiddler, all will
work as long as I first alter a few of the Ids (Guids within the BITS-
POST.
Although exporting to a VS WebTest omits things like Connection: Keep-
Alive, and User-Agent: Microsoft BITS/7.5. Within VS2010, I can add
these Headers, but the Connection: Keep-Alive will not "stick"...
meaning it will not exist within the new POST request (verifying via
Fiddler).
This is really a VS2010 WebTest problem, not Fiddler... but if you
have any ideas about how to solve this, that would be wonderful; I'd
like to create VS2010 tests from Fiddler-captured data.
