Shall I be honest? :)

Fiddler logs are a complete waste of everyone's time. They tell you what was sent to/from the browser, but the issue is client side - it's the browser executing the Javascript code.

Theoretically, one could use some home-brew tool to pump Fiddler logs to a browser and try to debug it, but that's going to be so painful (not least because you don't have the customer's browser) that the only way to actively tackle it is to use a Javascript debugger on the client site.

Failing a webex: The ClientCore.js files shipped with BMC are "compressed", which is basically an ineffective way to make them unreadable to the client - there are dozens of tools to format them neatly. I would expect someone to send you an uncompressed ClientCore.js file and ask for a screenshot of the error from the Error console in Firefox, which allows you to at least pinpoint the problem. Even better, IE's debugger used to have a "break on exception and display the stack" feature, but I've not used that in years. This information will provide clues.

Fiddler logs are for solving client/server side issues, such as "Why is my browser failing to authenticate single-sign on with this service?".

Pascale: If SSL options are being suggested, I'm not sure anyone understands the problem...
