Using fiddler to trace console app - OSX - Mono

Question

I'm running Fiddler on OSX and it is happily tracing HTTP requests from chrome, dropbox and other processes on my machine but it does not show HTTP requests from a console app running on Mono. The console app uses HttpWebRequest.

Turns out that you have to direct the app to use a proxy:

WebRequest.DefaultWebProxy = new WebProxy("127.0.0.1", 8888);
