title: Fiddler and Windows Phone 7 emulator - redirect to proxy
body: <p>I am just curious - did anyone got <strong>Fiddler</strong> to work with Windows Phone 7 emulator (RTW build)? When I try working with Fiddler, I am getting a <strong>WebException</strong> when working with <strong>HttpWebRequest</strong> insances - <strong>NotFound</strong>, to be specific. <strong>WireShark</strong> works fine.</p>
  
  <p>The problem I see here is that <strong>Fiddler</strong> acts as a proxy and the WP7 application I am using doesn't go through a proxy to pass the request, while <strong>WireShark</strong> works differently - it doesn't directly pass traffic through it.</p>
  
  <p>There was a similar question <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3305018/using-fiddler-to-debug-the-windows-phone-7-emulator">here</a> but in my case I would like to override the proxy settings so that the WP7 application will connect to <strong>http:/127.0.0.1:8888</strong> as the proxy address. Since WP7 tools are based on Silverlight, is it possible to direct a <strong>HttpWebRequest</strong> to a proxy first?</p>
  
  <p><strong>EDIT:</strong> On <a href="http://www.fiddler2.com/fiddler/help/hookup.asp" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this page</a> (Fiddler documentation) it is stated that XDE (Windows Phone 7 emulator) should automatically pick up system proxy settings, but for some reason it seems like it doesn't.</p>
