Fiddler4 not capturing traffic (FME -> CouchDB)

I love Fiddler, and it is a mainstay for my web debugging. It is working fine for all my browser based activities. But right now, I am having a login issue with CouchDB. I am using a desktop software called SAFE FME, which provides login and bulk upload to the CouchDB server. From the browser I can login to the CouchDB, so that did not seem the problem.

All I want to do is see the traffic going between the FME and the CouchDB server.

CouchDB is running on http://localhost:5984/

computer is windows 7, 64 bit. Both Couchdb and FME are local to the computer I have Fiddler setup for:

  • Capture Traffic true
  • Any Process

Any idea why I am not capturing the data

You're probably not capturing the data because SAFE FME doesn't use the system proxy setting.

Open FME Workbench. From the menu select Tools|FME Options then select Network and check Use Proxy. Ref: https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/How_To/Configure-FME-Desktop-to-connect-through-your-proxy-server

The Fiddler proxy runs on 127.0.0.1 port 8888.
