In Fiddler, when I get an HTTP response, in the Headers tab (it's the Standard.ResponeHeaderView inspector), the response headers have been automatically 'categorized' so that, for instance, some are identified as 'Cache' headers, some as 'Entity' and so forth. Is there any way to alter this categorization?
For instance, I would like to identify some headers as coming from e.g. Akamai, based on the header name, so that I can click on the header to compress them from the view, if I don't care about them.
This Inspector is not presently customizable in that way. You could write FiddlerScript to remove unwanted headers from the responses entirely, or you could write your own Inspector that hides the headers of your choice.

I'm working with an API that doesn't yet have CORS setup. So, instead of waiting until that's setup, I thought I could use fiddler to add the Access-Control-Allow-Origin header to the responses coming from the server. I haven't used fiddler for a while and can't figure out how to add headers to the response. Is this not supported in the free version of fiddler-everywhere?
It's not ideal, but I found a workaround. After the requests have gone off once, I right-click the ones I'm interested in and select "Add new rule". The rule will automatically do an exact match to the URL and sets the action of "Return manually crafted response" If I edit the rule, the header can be added in the raw text.
Can I have less header in network tab? (picture)
The Requests table displays the following columns by default:
Name The filename of, or an identifier for, the resource.
Status The HTTP status code.
Type The MIME type of the requested resource.
Initiator The following objects or processes can initiate requests:
Parser Chrome's HTML parser.
Redirect An HTTP redirect.
Script A JavaScript function.
Other Some other process or action, such as navigating to a page via a link or entering a URL in the address bar.
Size The combined size of the response headers plus the response body, as delivered by the server.
Time The total duration, from the start of the request to the receipt of the final byte in the response.
Waterfall A visual breakdown of each request's activity.
Add or remove columns
Right-click the header of the Requests table and select an option to hide or show it. Currently displayed options have checkmarks next to them.
Is it possible to modify a property of a change request by using the OSLC-CM REST API of a change management system. The system that I'm trying to achieve that is Rational Change.
I can browse and query via the REST API, but to modify anything I need to resort to command line which is rather slow.
Is there a way?

To update resources using the OSLC-CM REST API you simply just can use HTTP PUT. In order to do this, you'll first need the URL of the Change Request.
The steps to achieve this (using any HTTP client) are:
acquire URL for Change Request (usually done by query, or stored reference, etc)
Perform an HTTP GET on that URL, specifying a format for use in editing. This is done using 'Accept' header, some typical values would be 'application/xml', 'application/json' or 'application/rdf+xml'.
Note, it is a good idea to set the header 'OSLC-Core-Verson: 2.0' as well to ensure you are working with the 2.0 formats.
Once you have fetched the resource, modify the property to the value you want.
Using HTTP PUT, send the modified resource in the content body to the same URL you fetched the resource from.
Additionally you will most likely need to pass along some additional headers to help the server detect any possible conflict.
You should get back a 200 (OK) or 204 (No content) response on success.
An optimization would be to do the same steps as above but only request the properties of interest and only send them by using the selective properties feature of OSLC.
So I've finally got it working with some help from googlegroups
To recap what I've done so that someone else might benefit too (I really have searched for it and the IBM documentation is as in most of the cases not helping):
So to modify PR/CR' implement_actual_effort attribute on the Rational Change server the following procedure was successful (using Firefox REST plugin):
1. In Headers set: Accept to application/xml, Content-Type to application/xml
Put the oslc address of the cr i URL in my case it was:
http://[IP:PORT]/change/oslc/db/[DB hex ID]/role/User/cr/[web_encoded_name_of_the_CR]?oslc_cm.properties=change:implement_actual_effort
(note in browser http://[IP:PORT]/change/oslc/db/[DB hex ID]/role/User/cr/[web_encoded_name_of_the_CR] will open change page of the CR/PR)
In REST client set Method to GET and press SEND
Click on the Response Body (RAW), copy xml Body
Change Method to PUT, change the value of the attribute (in the xml in Body window)
Press SEND
Attribute should have been changed right now, and the response should be similiar to what you've sent, with the attribute showing the change.
Note that to change an attribute (called property from oslc point of view) one has to provide ?oslc_cm.properties=[properties delimited with comma]
and in the request body xml the same properties have to be present, if I remember correctly if the property isn't mentioned in the xml it will be set to default
I hope this helps someone

I'm trying to test some calls but the content-type is text no matter what I do. I try to specify as json or xml but it doesn't matter and not sure why:
I suspect you're getting confused about the Content-Type column, which shows the Content-Type of the response, not the request.
Double-click the Web Session to inspect the request and response using the Inspectors. The Request is shown in the top set of tabs while the Response is shown in the bottom set.
I have added security to one of my services, and I would like to test it,
Is there some way of adding the Key and Name in the Header?
How can I do that in Fiddler, What do I have to type?
If you simply want to add a custom header to all outbound requests, go to the FILTERS tab and in the Request Headers section, add your custom header.
