This articles provides step by step instructions on how to capture Fiddler logs from an iOS device to debug rewrite issues.

Fiddler tool is used to capture the web traffic between a client and web server. Fiddler tool installation is available only for PC's and not for mobile devices. However, following steps would help to capture the web traffic by forwarding the web request from an iOS device to a client PC. 

Note: The client PC (where the Fiddler tool is running) and the iOS device must be connected on the same network. 

Pre-requisites:

• Download the Fiddler tool at Fiddler Debugging Tool Download.

Step 1: Configure Fiddler Tool

1. Open the Fiddler tool
2. Navigate to Tools > Options > HTTPS tab
3. Click the checkbox for Capture HTTPS CONNECTS and Decrypt HTTPS traffic

3. A prompt will appear to trust a fiddler root certificate and click Yes

5. Click OK

Step 2: Enable Fiddler tool to allow traffic 

1. Navigate to Tools > Options > Connections tab
2. Click the checkbox for Enable Allow remote computers to connect

Note: After enabling the above option we need to restart the Fiddler tool. Also make sure your firewall allows incoming connections to the Fiddler process.

Step 3: Configure Proxy settings in iOS

1. Navigate to Wi-Fi > Settings
2. Open the  Wi-Fi Network to which the iOS device is connected 
3. Under HTTP Proxy section tap Configure Proxy and choose the option manual
