I am using WinXP with IE7 and while using Fiddler with Cassini, I kept on getting the error "[Fiddler] Connection to localhost. failed.<BR>Exception Text: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it". Then I remembered an article I read..... geeks.ms/.../fiddler-no-connection-could-be-made-because-the-target-machine-actively-refused-it.aspx.

Turn off the "Enable IPv6" in Fiddler, and voila! it works!

Fiddler not working with ASP.NET Development Server

Yes, I ran into the above mentioned issue. The solution is that fiddler does not catch url that go by...

You shouldn't need this workaround in Firefox in general.

The reason that using the 127.0.0.1. address works and Localhost doesn't is most likely that you're on Vista. The Cassini server only listens on the IPv4 address, but on Vista, Localhost maps by default to IPv6, where Cassini isn't listening.

Interesting, works with IE, but not with Firefox.

But at least it works IE, so thank you.

Thank you Damir and John, localhost. failed to work for me as well where as 127.0.0.1. did.

Though http://localhost.:1234/ didn't work for me, the following did:

http://127.0.0.1.:1234/

Notice the period after the 1. That made all the difference.

It didn't work for me. Fiddler replied:

HTTP/1.1 502 Fiddler - Connection Failed

Content-Type: text/html

Connection: close

Timestamp: 15:40:34:1580

[Fiddler] Connection to localhost. failed.<BR>Exception Text: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it

Thanks that worked for me, i have an ASP.NET project running in VS2003 and Fiddler totally ignored the request in IE7.

Adding the DOT made it work

Thanks very much !!

I tend to use the NETBIOS name when running through Fiddler. Of course that doesn't work so well for the built-in Web server.

Incidentally the . at the end explains one of the mysteries I have with FireFox showing up with localhost. domain names that fry cookies.
