There are lots of reason you might need to debug a HTTP/HTTPs request(s), be it try to recreate a issue and narrow-down the problem in your favorite language editor or compare contents between different request(s) etc. MockingBird is a Progress Telerik Fiddler^TM extension to transform a Fiddler's HTTP/HTTPs session to any other format you want e.g. you can generate Java, C#.net or any other language code from selected requests you want to troubleshoot issues for and use the output code in your favourite IDE. It's not limited to just code and can be used to create any format as long as you can create a Mustache template for it e.g. you can create a csv file with selected HTTP request to perform a functional or load test in SOAP UI or JMeter.

As soon as you have a template it's just a matter of dragging and dropping selected request(s) to the code area and Voila!! the code is ready.

Select multiple requests and just drop inside Generate Tab tab.

Create as many templates as you need. Just place them inside <Fiddler's script path>/templates/<TemplateName>.tpl and restart Fiddler the template will be avilable in Template tab. Simply select it and drag and drop HTTP request in Generate Code tab.

You can make changes to selected template in Template tab and click on Save button to save it. All the request would be trasformed as per the updated changes.
