Microsoft's Fiddler PowerToy?
Today I ran across
this
article on MSDN, titled "Fiddler PowerToy - Part 1: HTTP
Debugging". Now, I've been using Fiddler for ages - it's a
fabulous tool. But "Microsoft Fidder"? Has it always been a
Microsoft tool? Did I miss something? Near as I can figure, it
was either developed by a Microsoft employee but originally
delivered independently, or it was aquired by Microsoft on the
down-low, Lookout style. Either way, I'm glad to see it's
still being enhanced. But it caught me by surprise.
UPDATE -
Omar dispels my
conspiracy theories by informing me that Fiddler is (and
always was) written by a MS employee. Damn you and your dose
of reality, Omar. :)

Fiddler was written by a Microsoft employee, alway has
been.
Yes, Microsoft always owned it, but it wasn't an
official-unofficial project until rather recently. ;-)
