Indeed .. in praise of Fiddler I must say I haven't used it for a year or so and that time it was just to check the response headers of a service. I took some time to look at all the tabs and features in the latest version and I'm really impressed. It's great to be able to drag a session into the Composer tab and play with it, and to see https traffic, and decode various formats. I was shocked by the amount of traffic from Gmail and Bing, the latter caused by IE address bar suggestions which I have no use for and deactivated. I can see the requests and responses to my Web API, but I don't know how to get VS2013 to break. I tried attaching to the Fiddler and IE process but it doesn't work. Is there a trick to run the VS2013 project? There is no "Start Page" like in a Web Forms, WCF or ASMX project. Greg
