Nice to have some basic barebones Fiddler functionality in the toolkit. 👍🏻

[@VivekGawande1]

That was very instructive! What's the terminal theme?

[@positronalpha]

Obviously, you don't run tests against real external services, but this definitely makes mocking them a lot easier. Cool stuff.

[@WaldekMastykarz]

Exactly! You don't want to test the external services but need to verify that your own code won't fail when the APIs you use don't work as intended.

[@OeHomestead]

Tried this app and it went ahead and changed the proxy settings on my computer without warning, causing a lot of problems. Thanks...

So what you are saying you didn't read the manual 😅
