Ajax / HTTP Debugging

http://www.fiddlertool.com/fiddler/

I forgot to mention earlier that there is an Ajax / Http Debugging tool called Fiddler.  It looks at the http sent between the client and server.  Could be very useful in debugging web services, xml requests, and thus Ajax.

Fiddler is a HTTP Debugging Proxy which logs all HTTP traffic between your computer and the Internet. Fiddler allows you to inspect all HTTP Traffic, set breakpoints, and "fiddle" with incoming or outgoing data. Fiddler is designed to be much simpler than using NetMon or Achilles, and includes a simple but powerful JScript.NET event-based scripting subsystem.

Yes, this is the coolest tool I am using for AJAX debugging, too. I have build an Ajax.NET inspector to see return values as "real" objects instead of a large string.

My ASP.NET Development Helper tool supports some of the same, and allows monitoring traffic from just a single process at a time, i.e. single browser session. Its at http://www.nikhilk.net/Project.WebDevHelper.aspx.

I'd love to hear feedback, and suggestions for features that would make this tool even more helpful...

If you're using Firefox with the Greasemonkey extension, you might want to try my XMLHttpRequest Debugging script: http://blog.monstuff.com/archives/000252.html
