Use your local IP address  not 127 0 0 1  instead would work  such as 192 16 0 88 etc  Go to cmd exe and type ipconfig and you will see it

Fiddler s website addresses this question directly     There are several suggested workarounds  but the most straightforward is simply to use the machine name rather than  localhost  or  127 0 0 1    http   machinename mytestpage aspx

Using Fiddler v4 6 and the default configuration could not see any traffic from  localhost   Tried many suggestions here but nothing worked    Enabled Help -  Troubleshot and could see many more requests  Sessions were marked in a strike-through font and reason given was  Hidden due to Status Bar  Process Filter     Found this reply from Eric Lawrence to person having same problem http   www telerik com forums fiddler-not-capturing-ios-traffic-even-though-echo-service-works  basically what to do is   Look at the Status Bar across the bottom of the Fiddler window  the second little  tray  in that bar probably says something like  Web Browsers   Click that and then change to  All Processes
