title: Using Fiddler2 HTTP request inspector with an Android device
body: <p>For a project working I need to inspect the HTTP requests sent and received from my Android device. I'm using this tool Fiddler2 to monitor the traffic. In order to get it working I had to pass the traffic through a proxy. Now my phone is a Huawei U8180. Its runs Android 2.2 so it doesn't have a direct way to proxy settings. I used this app called <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lechucksoftware.proxy.proxysettings" rel="nofollow">Proxy Settings</a> to gain access to set the proxy settings.</p>
  
  <p>It almost works. I can see the traffic say, if I navigate to a website using the proxy web browser in that app (The app comes with a proxy browser). But <strong>not</strong> using my phone's normal browser. Neither I can see any HTTP requests sent by any of my apps installed in my device.</p>
  
  <p>If anyone has any experience using Fiddler2 with Android, I'd really appreciate your input. I'm open to try any other alternatives to accomplish this if you got any.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
