Overview

SkySync includes an embedded version of Fiddler, which will more easily allow for gathering of Fiddler traces for investigating issues.  This is currently supported via the REST API or the CLI. This page provides information for managing your Fiddler trace sessions, files, and certificates through REST API. (Click  here for more information on how to manage Fiddler using the CLI.)
